P{RS3}RanBPMCB-6232-3 is inserted into the first intron of RanBPM.
Homozygous RanBPMCB-6232-3 females are fertile, and the majority of their egg chambers develop normally, each individually surrounded by a monolayer of follicle cells. However, in approximately 19% of midstage RanBPMCB-6232-3 egg chambers, clear mislocalization of the oocyte away from the posterior is found.
RanBPMCB-6232-3/RanBPMΔ has egg chamber phenotype, enhanceable by shg[+]/shg2
RanBPMCB-6232-3/RanBPMΔ has ovary phenotype, enhanceable by shg[+]/shg2
The reduction in viability of RanBPMΔ/RanBPMCB-6232-3 mutants is dominantly enhanced in a shg2 heterozygous background. Ovaries of RanBPMCB-6232-3 shg2/RanBPMΔ survivors exhibit defects not seen in either RanBPMCB-6232-3/RanBPMΔ or shg2 heterozygotes alone, such as frequent follicle cell multilayering at the poles of egg chambers, severe egg chamber fusion, and loss of epithelial integrity so that many germline cells are no longer surrounded by a somatic cell layer.
The following alleles can be ordered into an allelic series based on their relative strength at 25[o]C: RanBPMΔ > RanBPMf06647 > RanBPMΔN > RanBPMCB-6232-3.
