Amino acid replacement: T652P.
In addition to the T652P amino acid replacement, which may cause the mutant phenotype, a number of additional amino acid changes are present compared to the U34925 mei-41 GenBank sequence (these "common" mutations are also present in other mei-41 mutant alleles, possibly due to variability present in the mutagenised population).
Nucleotide substitution: A4328C.

The mutation site reported in FBrf0160718 is relative to GB:U34925 (in which the predicted CDS is missing 163 N-terminal amino acids relative to genome release 3.2). Other amino acid changes common to several mei-41 mutants are also present in the strain (see FBrf0160718).
84% of eggs derived from homozygous females hatch into larvae. Hemizygous larvae show a G2/M checkpoint that is robust as in wild-type.
Hemizygous male larvae are not sensitive to HN2. They are sensitive to 0.08% MMS but relatively insensitive to 0.04% MMS.
