W633term | spn-E-PA
W632term
The mutation was reported as W632@ but there is no W residue at position 632 in the reference sequence so it was mapped to the nearest W residue at 633. G to A nucleotide change at the second or third position of the Trp codon leads to a nonsense mutation (exact site of mutation unspecified). Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
The eggs laid by spn-E9A9-18/spn-Ehls-Δ125 mutant females exhibit severe dorsoventral patterning defects, with a high percentage of collapsed eggs or eggs with no dorsal appendages.
The oocyte is smaller in size in spn-E9A9-18 mutant germline clones in comparison with controls.
