Description

Nucleotide substitution: G?A.

The premature stop codon results in a truncated protein that is almost half the size of the wild-type protein.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Cyt-c-dZ21091 homozygotes do not exhibit a significant proportion of hyperplastic testes, as compared to controls.

Cyt-c-dZ21091 mutants show defects in spermatid individualization.

At 42 hours after puparium formation (APF), homozygous and Cyt-c-dZ21091/Df(2L)H20 retinas have extra interommatidial cells in the secondary or tertiary position compared to wild type. At 22 hours APF the number of extra interommatidial cells is significantly higher than at 42 hours APF. Despite the presence of extra interommatidial cells in the retina, the process of cell sorting and interommatidial cell maturation occurs similarly to wild type in the mutant animals (20-27 hours APF).

The cell death of perimeter ommatidia at the edge of the eye, that normally occurs between 36 and 44 hours APF, is delayed in homozygous flies. At 40 hours APF, the mutant retinal edges have more clusters of malformed ommatidia in a thick later of interommatidial cells (while in wild type, many perimeter ommatidial clusters have been eliminated by this stage). By 54 hours APF, elimination of perimeter ommatidial clusters is complete in both mutant and wild-type animals.

Homozygous adult eyes have the normal number and arrangement of photoreceptor cells.

Homozygous flies have extra posterior scutellar bristles compared to wild type.
