Description

Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a deletion that removes part of Cad99C, spanning from 17980bp 5' to 156bp 5' of the translation start codon.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Cad99C248A/Cad99C248A males are sterile, though motile sperm are occasionally observed in seminal vesicles and germ cells develop normally until late stages of spermiogenesis. Starting from the individualization stage, disorganized spermatid cysts with long coiled spermatid nuclei are observed and the few mature sperm that enter seminal vesicles display abnormal nuclear morphology (part of the nucleus has a coiled structure and unusually long or hooked nuclei are observed).

Eggs laid by homozygous females spontaneously collapse after deposition and do not develop into larvae. More than 75% of the eggs are permeable to the dye Neutral Red after dechorionation, suggesting a vitelline membrane defect.

Prtl99C386.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP partially rescues spermiogenesis in Cad99C248A/Cad99C248A mutants, with seminal vesicles full of motile sperm and more fertile males.

Prtl99CMI10224,Cad99C248A/Prtl99CMI10224,Cad99C248A double mutants have an elongated nucleus area (in spermatids during individualization as well as mature sperm) compared to controls.

Df(2L)FDD-0338164/Df(2L)FDD-0338164;Cad99C248A/Cad99C248A double mutant males are sterile and have longer spermatid nuclei than those seen in Cad99C248A/Cad99C248A mutants.
