Recombination between PBac{WH}CG10990f06108 and P{XP}CG10990d04016 resulting in loss of 95% of the Pdcd4 coding sequence including the translation initiation codon and the sequences encoding both MA-3 domains.
A deletion resulting from recombination between PBac{WH}Pdcd4f06108 and P{XP}Pdcd4d04016, which causes loss of 95% of the Pdcd4 coding sequence.
Homozygotes and hemizygotes are viable with no obvious developmental or morphological defects.
Hemizygous males are fully fertile and show no obvious morphological defects in the adult germline.
Homozygous, hemizygous and Pdcd41/Pdcd4G93 females are fertile with no obvious morphological defects in the adult germline.
Homozygous, hemizygous and Pdcd41/Pdcd4G93 germaria have an increased number of spectrosome-containing cells compared to wild type - this number does not increase with age. There are no discernable defects in differentiation or any discernable abnormalities in subsequent germline stages.
Germline stem cells in Pdcd41 ovaries are present in similar numbers to wild type.
The expanded population of spectrosome-containing cells in Pdcd41 mutants are pre-cystoblasts.
