Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion resulting in a deletion of 2514bp. Part of the original inserted element remains.
2514 bp deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{EP}AGO2EP3417, which removes the first coding exon of AGO2 and most of the first intron. Part of the original insertion remains.
AGO2321/Df(3L)BSC558 males show dramatically reduced numbers of mature sperm in their seminal vesicles. The spermatid nuclear alignment as well as the alignment of the investment cones in the testes is strongly disrupted.
Df(3L)BSC558/AGO2321 is rescued by AGO2Tag:FLAG,Tag:HA
The sperm deficiency of AGO2321/Df(3L)BSC558 mutant males is rescued by combination with AGO2T:Zzzz\FLAG,T:Ivir\HA1.
dop1 complements AGO2321.
