The average size of P bodies (detected using pcm antibody) in nurse cell cytoplasm in ovaries from Dcp1442P; Dcp1tT2.R57A/+ females is increased ~2.6 times compared to that of controls.
Females containing homozygous germ-line clones produce egg chambers that arrest by stage 6.
P{Dcp1.T2} rescues the lethality of Dcp1442P homozygotes.
