G to A nucleotide change at the second or third position of the wild type Trp codon leads to a nonsense mutation (exact site of mutation unspecified). The mutation was annotated at the second base of the codon.
Cells in homozygous embryos show typical features of apoptosis, such as DNA fragmentation. All cells in gastrulating mutant embryos become TUNEL-positive, in contrast to wild-type embryos, where apoptosis is not detectable during gastrulation.
Embryos show increased cell death as assessed by TUNEL staining. The onset of this apoptosis appears several hours after development arrests.
Embryos exhibit defects in cellularization.

Expression of armD88A.Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 slightly delays the execution of apoptosis in th109.07 embryos, but apoptosis is otherwise unimpaired in the double mutant embryos.
One of 6 th mutants isolated.
Shows slightly weaker ability to enhance rpr-killing than a deletion of the gene.
