Flies homozygous for the P{lacW}moiS096713 insertion die as third instar larvae.
Df(3R)d189/Tgs1S096713 is rescued by Tgs1+t4.6
Df(3R)d189/Tgs1S096713 is rescued by Tgs1um.t4.6
P{CaSpeR-DTL} (expressing wild type moi and Tgs1) rescues the lethality of P{lacW}moiS096713/Df(3R)d189.
The presence of P{CaSpeR-DTLum} (expressing wild type Tgs1) delays the lethality phase of P{lacW}moiS096713/Df(3R)d189 animals, with these animals now hatching.
The P3-P4 early pupal lethality seen in P{lacW}moiS096713/Df(3R)d189 animals is completely rescued by P{CaSpeR-DTL} (which carries moi+t4.6 and tatl+t4.6).
The P3-P4 early pupal lethality seen in P{lacW}moiS096713/Df(3R)d189 animals is not rescued by P{CaSpeR-DTLdm} (which carries tatldm.t4.6 and moidm.t4.6).
The P3-P4 early pupal lethality seen in P{lacW}moiS096713/Df(3R)d189 animals is partially rescued by P{CaSpeR-DTLum} (which carries tatlum.t4.6 and moium.t4.6); animals die as pharate adults or immediately after hatching.
The P3-P4 early pupal lethality seen in P{lacW}moiS096713/Df(3R)d189 animals is completely rescued by P{CaSpeR-DTLdm} and P{CaSpeR-DTLum} together in trans.
The P{lacW}moiS096713 insertion maps upstream of a dicistronic locus that encodes moi (upstream ORF) and tatl (downstream ORF). Rescue analysis indicates that the telomere fusion phenotype seen in P{lacW}moiS096713 mutants is due to an effect on the moi ORF and not on tatl. In contrast, the lethality caused by the insertion is not rescued by a transgene containing either ORF alone, but is rescued by a transgene containing functional copies of both ORFs, indicating that the lethality is due to an effect on both ORFs.
