Insertion of P{SUPor-P} into intron 1 of eIF-4E, in tandem orientation. Insertion sites in eIF-4EScim-a and eIF-4EScim-b are identical.
mitosis & nuclear chromosome
Dominantly decreases transmission of Dp(1;f)J21A to offspring to 17%. Recessive lethality acts at the third larval instar stage. Larval neuroblast squashes reveal an extremely low mitotic index. Interphase nuclei are two to four times the diameter of wild type nuclei. In rare nuclei the chromosome morphology is disrupted and the chromosomes appear hypocondensed.
