Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion resulting in a deletion of 5750bp.
5750 bp deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{EP}AGO2EP3417, which removes most of AGO2 but not the adjacent genes.
The fertility of AGO2454/Df(3L)BSC558 mutant males is severely reduced compared to wild-type controls (female fertility is not affected) due decreased number of mature sperm in their seminal vesicles. The spermatid nuclear alignment as well as the alignment of the investment cones in the testes is strongly disrupted.
AGO2454 homozygotes are short lived compared to controls.
AGO2414/AGO2454 is a suppressor of abnormal eye color phenotype of wRNAi.GMR
Df(3L)BSC558/AGO2454 is rescued by AGO2Tag:FLAG,Tag:HA
The severely reduced fertility of AGO2454/Df(3L)BSC558 mutant males along with their sperm deficiency is rescued by combination with AGO2T:Zzzz\FLAG,T:Ivir\HA1.
dop1 complements AGO2454.
