Insertion within intron 1, approximately 146bp downstream of the translational initiation site.
Homozygous males are viable, fertile and indistinguishable from wild type.
Homozygous females fail to lay eggs. All egg chambers of homozygous females contain 16 germline cells, but they lack karyosomes. The nuclei of all the germline cells contain endoreplicated DNA that is typically seen in nurse cells. Spectrosome/fusome development appears indistinguishable from wild type in homozygous females. Meiosis is not restricted to a single cells in mutant germaria, as assessed by the presence of synaptonemal complexes in two adjacent cells within germarial region 3. In mutant cysts containing a single cell with synaptonemal complex, centrosomes accumulate within the cell containing the synaptonemal complex (as occurs in wild type), however, they are not detected within the posterior of the cell but are randomly placed within the cytoplasm.
ranshie00091 is rescued by ranshi+t4.2
FlyBase curator comment: The "Df(3R)ranshi[1]" chromosome and the allele called "ranshi[1]" in FBrf0210119 (ranshie00091 in FlyBase) are two separate mutations. The ranshie00091 allele is caused by the PBac{RB}ranshie00091 insertion. The Df(3R)ranshi1 chromosome is a different mutation derived by recombination between the Scer\FRT sites in PBac{RB}ranshie00091 and P{XP}d11678.
Precise excision of the progenitor insertion reverts the mutant phenotype.
