Construct: Amino acid replacement: S251D. Encodes a constitutively active form of eIF-4E.
eIF4E1S251D is a suppressor of ovary phenotype of bru1QB/bru1PD
aretPD/aretQB eIF-4ES251D ; Lk6EP886/+ females arrest oogenesis at the same stage (stage 9) as aretPD/aretQB ; Lk6EP886/+ females. eIF-4ES251D suppresses the aretPD/aretQB ovary phenotype, delaying arrest of oogenesis until stage 9.
