L78H
Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
male sterile (with auxI670K)
cystic bulge (with auxI670K)
auxI670K/auxL78H adults exhibit rough eyes, with extra photoreceptor cells and occasional extra bristles on the notum, sternopleurum, and scutellum.
auxI670K/auxL78H mutant males, when mated to wild-type females, do not produce any embryos that hatch. Spermatids do develop in the testis, however the seminal vesicles are empty in adult male flies. The morphology of the testis hub cells appear normal in these animals. The number of germ cells is comparable to wild-type testes. Spermatid individualisation is disrupted in mutants, and migration of the investment cone along spermatid cysts does not occur normally.
Homozygous clones in the eye disc show increased numbers of disorganised elav-positive neuronal cells, instead of the organised clusters containing 8 elav-positive per cluster that are seen in wild type.
auxL78H/auxW328X animals expressing auxΔJ.Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI die before the larval stage.
