Insertion into the first intron of eIF-4a.
Less than 9% of eIF-4a1013 germline stem cells detected 1 week after clone induction (ACI) are detected at 3 weeks ACI, whereas 76% of control germline stem cells detected 1 week ACI are detected at 3 weeks ACI.
Larval growth arrest, in L1. 28% survive until 4 days after hatching. DNA replication continues at a reduced level compared to wild type. Mutant phenotype is cell autonomous. Mutant clones in the wing disc are occasionally detectable. All adults in which clones had been induced show a rough eye phenotype. Mutant clones in the eye produce a rough eye phenotype, almost no mutant cells are detected.
eIF-4a[+]/eIF4A1013 is a suppressor of female sterile phenotype of bamz3-2884/bamΔ86
eIF-4a[+]/eIF4A1013 is a suppressor of ovariole phenotype of bamz3-2884/bamΔ86
eIF-4a[+]/eIF4A1013 is a suppressor of germarium phenotype of bamz3-2884/bamΔ86
eIF-4a[+]/eIF4A1013 is a suppressor of female germline stem cell | increased number phenotype of bamz3-2884/bamΔ86
The increased number of spectrosome-containing cells in Pdcd41 germaria is significantly decreased in a eIF-4a1013/+ background.
Most bamz3-2884/bamΔ86; eIF-4a1013/+ ovarioles contain 4-6 normal egg chambers, while the germaria contain fewer single germ cells compared to bamz3-2884/bamΔ86 ovarioles.
eIF-4a1013 fails to dominantly suppress the tumourous phenotype of bamΔ86 ovarioles.
No reduction in pole cell number is seen in the progeny of vasPH165/+ ; eIF-4a1013/+ females.
Excision of the P-element is accompanied by reversion of the mutant phenotype.
