Q315term
Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
lethal - all die before end of larval stage | recessive
melanotic mass phenotype | larval stage | recessive
some die during larval stage | recessive
egg chamber | germline clone
follicle cell | germline clone
imaginal disc
larval tracheal system
nurse cell & nucleus | germ-line clone
pita3 homozygotes die as larvae with melanotic tumors, underdeveloped imaginal discs, and tracheal defects. 56% of stage 6-9 pita3 germ-line clone egg chambers lack nurse cell nuclei completely and many have a thickened follicle cell layer.
