Description

aubsting-1 acts as a loss of function allele (reduced expression) in the germline and as a gain of function allele (due to ectopic expression) in the somatic hub cells.

Insertion of a P{lacW} element 58bp upstream of the transcriptional start site.

Detailed Description

aubsting-1 homozygotes are viable.

aubsting-1 homozygotes, but not aubsting-1 heterozygotes, display a significant decrease in the length of third instar larval neuromuscular junctions, as compared to controls.

aubsting-1 homozygotes, and aubsting-1/aubHN2 and aubsting-1/aubQC42 transheterozygotes exhibit crystalline aggregates (of Stellate protein) in spermatocytes, which are absent in aubsting-1 single heterozygotes and wild-type controls.

aubsting-1 males have needle-shaped crystals in the spermatocytes in the presence of the Ste+ allele.

Progeny from homozygous males are sometimes seen; male fertility in aubsting-1/Y males is inversely correlated with Ste repeat copy number. Needle-shaped crystals are seen in the spermatocytes and spermatids of homozygous males. aubsting-1/Y males show meiotic nondisjunction, and the frequency is directly correlated with Ste repeat copy number. aubsting-1/aubsting-3a flies are male sterile and produce needles in the spermatogenic stages.

aubsting-1 heterozygosity suppresses the following defects associated with Fmr1Δ113M : the near lethality of Fmr1Δ113M homozygotes; the sterility of Fmr1Δ50M/Fmr1Δ113M transheterozygous males and the fertility defects of Fmr1Δ113M heterozygous or homozygous males and females; the crystalline aggregates observed in the spermatocytes of Fmr1Δ113M heterozygotes and homozygotes; and the increased length of third instar larval neuromuscular junctions of Fmr1Δ113M homozygotes. aubsting-1 heterozygosity also suppresses the crystalline aggregates observed in the spermatocytes of AGO104845 heterozygotes, AGO1[k08121] heterozygotes, and Fmr1Δ50M homozygotes.

aubsting-1, AGO1k08121 double homozygotes do not display significant changes in the length of third instar larval neuromuscular junctions, as compared to controls.

aubsting-1 males have star-shaped crystals in the spermatocytes in the presence of the Steunspecified allele.

The crystals in primary spermatocytes of aubsting-1 homozygous males carrying Steunspecified are star-shaped.

Excision of the P{lacW} element can cause reversion to wild-type.
