Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
Homozygous O-fut14R6 clones in the adult intestine which also express O-fut1R245A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU show an increase in intestinal stem cell-like cells compared to wild type, without affecting the specification or differentiation of enteroendocrine cells or large enterocytes.
Embryos maternally and zygotically mutant for O-fut14R6 (generated using females carrying homozygous O-fut14R6 germline clones) exhibit a neurogenic phenotype, in which excess neurons are produced at the expense of epidermal cells.
Embryos expressing O-fut1R245A in a maternal and zygotic O-fut14R6 mutant background exhibit normal neurogenesis. The embryos are able to hatch, but die as first instar larvae.
O-fut14R6 homozygous embryos are normal with respect to neurogenesis, but embryos derived from O-fut14R6 homozygous germ-line clones show a strong neurogenic phenotype that is not significantly paternally rescued. In the adult wing, O-fut14R6 mutant clones result in loss of wing margin and vein thickening.
Ofut14R6 is partially rescued by Ofut1hs.PS
Expression of O-fut1R245A rescues the neurogenic defects seen in embryos that are maternally and zygotically mutant for O-fut14R6.
