Deletion from approximately nucleotides 3400-7132, removing the Rbp9 P3 promoter and a 0.45kb segment of the coding region (encoding the N-terminal 150 amino acids) including the translational initiation codon.
Ovarioles of mutant females are filled with egg chambers with abnormal numbers of cystocytes that never develop beyond a stage 6 egg chamber. Germaria are enlarged. In a few cases the ovarioles are devoid of egg chambers. As the flies age, the underdeveloped egg chambers become filled with numerous small cells (the "tumerous bag" phenotype). Fusomes in mutant germaria are malformed.
Rbp9Δ1 is a non-enhancer of female germline cell phenotype of Rbfox1f02600/Rbfox1e03440
Rbp9Δ1 is a non-suppressor of female germline cell phenotype of Rbfox1f02600/Rbfox1e03440
Rbp9Δ1 is rescued by Rbp9+t17.1
