Imprecise excision of P{EP}PargEP351 has deleted two-thirds of the Parg ORF (nucleotides 34,622-36,079 by numbering of GenBank Z98254).

Similarly to wild-type clones, egg chambers with Parg27.1 mutant germline clones or follicle cell clones only do not show oocyte mislocalisation. However, egg chambers bearing Parg27.1 mutant clones, both in the follicle cells, including the polar cells, and the germline cells, exhibit mislocalisation of the oocyte to its midpoint.
Three days after clone induction, Parg27.1 mutant germline stem cells (GSCs) and cysts are present in the germarium. Two weeks after clone induction, Parg27.1 mutant germline stem cells are lost in 95% of the germaria where the developing Parg27.1 mutant egg chamber is visible. Marked wild-type GSCs are still retained in 80% of germaria.
The number and size of histone locus bodies and cajal bodies is significantly increased in mutant salivary gland nuclei compared to wild type.
Almost all Parg27.1 hemizygous male embryos laid by Parg27.1 females hatch, and two-thirds of the resulting larvae develop to the pupal stage, but die before eclosion if raised at 25oC. However, when raised at 29oC, approximately 25% of these embryos develop into morphologically normal adults with an average lifespan of 16 days at 25oC. These adults show abnormal levels of poly-(ADP-ribose) accumulation, particularly in the CNS and eyes. Most drag their wings and do not fly and 75% develop a black spot in one or both of the base joints of the second limb, which appears to disable this limb. Gross neuro-anatomy in these flies is relatively normal when flies first emerge, but increasing neurodegeneration is seen as they age. Accumulation of abnormal particles adjacent to the nucleoli of neurons is apparent within a few days of eclosion. These particles become increasingly abundant with age, correlating with morphological signs of cell death in these cells. Both Parg27.1 hemizygous males and homozygous females are sterile.

Expression of shgScer\UAS.P\T.cJa in the germline using Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 is sufficient to rescue the oocyte mislocalisation in Parg27.1 mutant follicles, including the polar cells and germline cell clones.

Parg27.1/+ causes a more rapid germline stem cell loss in Hrb98DEd05172/Df(3R)Exel6209 mutants.
Expression of shgScer\UAS.P\T.cJa in the germline under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 fully restores the germline stem cell (GSC) maintenance ability in Parg27.1/+; Hrb98DEd05172/Df(3R)Exel6209 mutants.
With expression of shgScer\UAS.P\T.cJa in germline cells under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16, the Parg27.1 mutant GSCs are still maintained in 65% of germaria 2 weeks after clone induction, which is comparable to the maintenance rate of the marked wild-type GSCs.
The viability of Parg27.1/+; Parpc03256/Parpc03256 animals after exposure to 36Gy irradiation at the third larval instar stage is not significantly different from that of wild-type controls.
