Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, removing 80bp of 5'UTR and 123bp of coding sequence (deleting the first 41 amino acids).
203 bp deletion resulting from imprecise of excision of P{SUPor-P}Exo70KG08051 that takes out 80bp upstream of the translation start codon and extends 123bp downstream (deleting the first 41 amino acids).
oocyte & nuclear chromosome
mtrm126/Df(3L)66C-T2-10 oocyte nuclei are severely abnormal in both prometaphase I and metaphase I. Intact chromosomes can be seen in some oocytes, but they are frequently not associated into a single chromosome mass or a single spindle and in many oocytes the nucleus appears severely fragmented. Spindles are either absent or abnormal looking. In 65% of oocytes with fully developed dorsal appendages, a discernible oocyte nucleus can not be identified.
Heterozygosity for mtrm126 results in elevated achiasmate X (42%) and 4th (37%) chromosome nondisjunction in In(1)FM7/X females compared to controls (the In(1)FM7 chromosome is present to fully suppress X chromosomal exchange).
42% of stage 12 oocytes show nuclear envelope breakdown (NEB) in mtrm126/+ females (NEB does not occurs until stage 13 in wild-type egg oocytes). 60% of stage 11 oocytes and 97% of stage 12 oocytes show NEB in homozygous females. 26% of heterozygous oocytes observed within 20 minutes before NEB have a disordered karyosome.
The karyosome usually dissolves within 10-20 minutes after NEB in In(1)FM7/X ; mtrm126/+ oocytes, and the individual bivalents become clearly visible (in 88% of oocytes examined, the chromosomes are individualised during spindle assembly). This contrasts with control oocytes, where the karyosome remains associated after NEB and the chiasmate chromosomes are still condensed in a single mass at metaphase I. However, most of the mutant oocytes that undergo bivalent individualisation eventually form bipolar spindles with chiasmate chromosomes properly balanced on the metaphase plate.
43% of oocyte nuclei show an aberrant co-orientation of 4th chromosome centromeres to the same pole, while 6% of these oocytes have aberrant X centromere co-orientations in mtrm126/+ females with two normal sequence X chromosomes. In(1)FM7/X mtrm126/+ females show 43% abnormal centromere co-orientation for the X chromosome and 37% for the 4th chromosome.
mtrm126 homozygotes undergo an extra round of cystoblast divisions prior to the onset of meiosis. Stage 13-14 oocytes from these females have improperly condensed chromosomes.

poloKG03033/+, polo16-1/+ and Df(3L)rdgC-co2/+ each suppress the elevated levels of achiasmate X and 4th chromosome nondisjunction seen in In(1)FM7/X mtrm126/+ females.
The precocious nuclear envelope breakdown (NEB) seen in stage 12 oocytes of mtrm126/+ females is strongly suppressed by polo16-1/+. The defects in karyosome morphology seen in mtrm126/+ oocytes observed within 20 minutes of NEB are also largely suppressed by polo16-1/+.
The precocious NEB seen in oocytes of mtrm126/+ females is enhanced by expression of poloScer\UAS.P\T.cXa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16; the frequency of NEB in stage 12 oocytes is increased to 77%, and NEB is seen in 19% of stage 11 oocytes.
polo16-1/+ largely suppresses the karyosome maintenance defects seen in mtrm126/+ oocytes. polo16-1/+ fully suppresses the defect in X and 4th chromosome centromere co-orientation that is seen in mtrm126/+ females.
