Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a deletion that removes part of Tsp66E.
The hatching rate of eggs laid by homozygous females is significantly reduced compared to wild type, although the number of eggs laid is similar to wild type. The eggs are reduced in length.
Tsp66E2 has egg | maternal effect phenotype, enhanceable by if3
Tsp66E2 has egg | maternal effect phenotype, suppressible by Hsap\CD82UAS.Tag:HA/Scer\GAL4da.G32
Tsp66E2, Tsp74F1 has actin filament phenotype
At stage 12 of oogenesis, alignment of actin filament bundles in the follicle cells of Tsp66E2 Tsp74F1 double mutant females is severely disturbed. Endocytosis is severely reduced (assayed by dextran uptake) in the mutant follicle cells at this stage.
if3 enhances the short-egg phenotype seen in eggs laid by Tsp66E2 females.
The penetrance of the if3 wing blister phenotype is enhanced if the flies also carry Tsp66E2/Tsp66E2 Tsp74F1.
The expression of Hsap\CD82Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 significantly rescues the elongation defects seen in eggs laid by Tsp66E2 females.
Tsp66E2 is rescued by Scer\GAL4da.G32/Tsp66EUAS.Tag:HA
The expression of Tsp66EScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 significantly rescues the elongation defects seen in eggs laid by Tsp66E2 females.
