Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
mof1 eye imaginal discs of third instar larvae show a substantial level of basal apoptotic cells, above that seen in controls. This high basal level is only slightly increased in mutants following exposure to 25 Gy ionizing radiation, to levels similar to that in controls exposed to the same.
In contrast to controls, mof1 wing imaginal discs do not show a significant decrease in mitotic indices following exposure to 25 Gy ionizing radiation.
Young homozygous mof1 females generate normal numbers of eggs and fecundity does not drop significantly between 3 and 13 days post-eclosion.
Males derived from a cross of homozygous females to wild-type males show appreciable survival to larval stages (day 5) in the presence of infection with the "male-killing" bacterium S.poulsonii. Infected male embryos derived from a cross of heterozygous females to wild-type males show no survival to day 5.
Males can develop to the third larval instar or the prepupal stage but fail to metamorphose and to hatch. msl-2Hsp83.PK females exhibit a very long developmental delay and a significant loss of viability, normal development is restored by removing one functional copy of mof.
mof1, nanosBN has decreased fecundity | female phenotype
mof[+]/mof1 is a non-enhancer of adult thorax | pharate adult stage phenotype of chm14
mof1 is a suppressor of embryonic/larval salivary gland | male | larval stage phenotype of Top2suo1/Top2suo3
mof1 is a suppressor of polytene chromosome | male | larval stage phenotype of Top2suo1/Top2suo3
mof[+]/mof1 is a non-suppressor of adult thorax | pharate adult stage phenotype of chm14
mof1 is not rescued by mofG4DBD.Hsp83
Expression of mofHsp83.T:Ivir\HA1,T:Scer\GAL4-DBD fails to rescue males from the lethal effects of mof1.
Immunofluorescence determines that msl-1 and msl-2 binding to the X chromosome is reduced, binding of mle is substantially reduced. X-specific isoform of His4 is absent.
