Imprecise excision of the P{EPgy2}CG9643EY07345 insertion, resulting in a deletion that removes part of the CG9643 gene and part of the Chd1 gene (sequences encoding the C-terminal 296 amino acids are deleted).
Only 45% of the expected number of Chd11/Df(2L)Exel7014 adults are recovered. None of the embryos laid by Chd11/Df(2L)Exel7014 females mated to wild-type males hatch.
In most embryos derived from Chd11/Df(2L)Exel7014 females, partial decondensation of the sperm chromatin and normal apposition of the parental pronuclei is seen. However, after this, only one pronucleus undergoes mitosis and the other does not.
Df(2L)Exel7014/Chd11 is rescued by Chd1WT.Tag:FLAG
Df(2L)Exel7014/Chd11 is partially rescued by Chd1CD.Tag:FLAG
Chd1WT.T:Zzzz\FLAG completely rescues and Chd1CD.T:Zzzz\FLAG partially rescues the zygotic lethal phenotype of Chd11/Df(2L)Exel7014. Chd1WT.T:Zzzz\FLAG completely rescues and Chd1CD.T:Zzzz\FLAG partially rescues the maternal effect lethality seen in embryos derived from Chd11/Df(2L)Exel7014 females mated to wild-type males.
