Deletion of sequence encoding part of the cmet motor domain and the entire cana motor domain. Generated by imprecise excision of P{GawB}NP5235.
Df(2L)Cenp-E141/Df(2L)Cenp-E141 mutants are majority lethal but occasional homozygotes are found. Those that survive have developmental abnormalities, including no ovary development.
In Df(2L)Cenp-E141/Df(2L)Cenp-E141 female germline clones, a subset of oocytes exhibit defective karyosome splitting, with frequent splits into multiple masses, and mis-orientation of homologous centromeres.
