Replacement of the endogenous COX4L gene with a DsRed marker.
The endogenous COX4L gene is replaced with a DsRed marker. The deletion boundaries were inferred from the homology arm sequences.
COX4LKO homozygous males exhibit empty seminal vesicles and sperm bundles that fail to individualize and produce mobile sperm. Testis show a decrease in mitochondria (MitoTracker staining)
COX4LKO has male sterile | recessive phenotype, non-suppressible by Scer\GAL4VP16.bam/COX4UAS.ORF.GW.Tag:HA
COX4LKO is partially rescued by Scer\GAL4nanos.PG/COX4LUAS.ORF.GW.Tag:HA
