A 2326bp genomic fragment containing the entire coding region of Aats-tyr-m, isolated from the AutW132 strain.
When developed at 25[o]C, Aats-tyr-mOre/Aats-tyr-mtAutW132 flies (containing mitochondrial-nuclear hybrid strains with both the D. melanogaster nuclear genome and a D. simulans mitochondrial genomes) are predominantly wild-type.
Flight performance is relatively strong while climbing ability is relatively weak in flies in which the 'simw[501]' mitochondrial genome, which contains the Dsim\mt:tRNA:Yw501 allele, is paired with the wild type nuclear Aats-tyr-mtAutW132 rescue allele (Aats-tyr-mtAutW132, Df(2R)BSC606). The morphology of indirect flight muscle mitochondria is only weakly affected.
When developed at 25[o]C, Dsim\mt:tRNA:Yw501/Aats-tyr-mtAutW132 flies (containing mitochondrial-nuclear hybrid strains with both the D. melanogaster nuclear genome and a D. simulans mitochondrial genomes) are predominantly wild-type.
Aats-tyr-mtAutW132 rescues the developmental delay seen in mitochondrial-nuclear hybrid strains containing the D. melanogaster nuclear genome and a D. simulans mitochondrial genome where the nuclear genome contains Aats-tyr-mOre/Df(2R)BSC606 and the mitochondrial genome contains Dsim\mt:tRNA:Yw501.
