Insertion of a 7.4kb gypsy element 250bp downstream of the 5' end of the tsr first intron. The gypsy LTRs are in the opposite direction to that of the tsr transcript. No mutations are found in the tsr coding region, but two C-to-A mutations are found in the second intron, neither of which are in the splicing consensus sites of the intron.
female sterile (with tsr1)
female sterile (with tsr2)
male semi-fertile (with tsr2)
male sterile | heat sensitive (with tsr1)
nurse cell & nucleus (with tsr1)
Terminal filaments do not form in the larval ovary of homozygotes at 25oC, but are formed at 18oC. At 21oC, terminal filaments form but are not as organised and do not contain as many cells as those in wild-type ovaries. At 25oC, the terminal filaments and apical cells of the ovary are larger and rounder than normal and the anterior region of the ovary appears elongated. There is a large increase in the amount of filamentous actin in apical and terminal filament cells of the ovary of homozygous females raised at 25oC (and the filamentous actin is abnormally distributed throughout the cytoplasm) and a slight increase in the level of filamentous actin in the germline in these females compared to wild type. A few homozygous adult escapers are seen, they are male sterile and have a gnarled bristle phenotype. tsr1/tsrntf animals are semi-viable at 25oC; only males survive and are sterile. At 18oC, these animals are viable and some males are fertile, while females are sterile and show defects in border cell migration. The border cell migration defects are more severe at higher temperatures. Some egg chambers show "dumping" of nurse cell nuclei into the oocyte at 25oC. Terminal filaments are present in the larval ovary of tsr1/tsrntf animals. Terminal filaments are present in the larval ovary of tsr2/tsrntf animals.
psidin55D4/psidin[+], tsr1/tsrntf has lethal phenotype
psidin85D1/psidin[+], tsr1/tsrntf has lethal phenotype
psidin[+]/psidine02846, tsr1/tsrntf has lethal phenotype
tsrntf/tsr2 is a suppressor of photoreceptor cell R7 | ectopic phenotype of sevS11.Tag:MYC
tsr2/tsrntf weakly suppresses the extra R7 photoreceptor cell phenotype of sevS11.T:Hsap\MYC flies.
