Mutation is within the HEAT-repeat domain of the Tor protein.
Amino acid replacement: R97C.

R97C | mTor-PA; R97C | mTor-PB
R97C
Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
5-15% of TorR97C mutants are able to survive to adulthood. These escapers are about half the size of wild type and are developmentally delayed by 2 days at 25oC. Escaper flies are 10:1 female:male and both genders are sterile. Ovaries dissected from TorR97C females display arrested development and increased cell death at a previtellogenic stage. Testes are abnormal and have a grossly enlarged apical tip.
Selected as: a mutation that is lethal in trans to the TorΔP deletion.
