Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
33% of Tango7L/Tango7E mutant flies have wrinkled wings. Most flies die during eclosion or soon thereafter. Mild wing blemishing and upward curved wings are seen at low penetrance.
The investment cones in Tango7L/Tango7E mutant spermatid cysts are able to form properly, but either stall at the nuclei or move asynchronously through the synctia.
eIF3mE/eIF3mL is rescued by eIF3m+tVK006
eIF3mE is rescued by eIF3m+tVK006
Expression of Tango7+tVK006 rescues the lethality seen in homozygous Tango7E mutants. Spermatid individualisation also occurs correctly in these flies.
Expression of Tango7+tVK006 rescues the semi-viability, male sterility and wrinkled wing phenotypes seen in Tango7L/Tango7E mutants.
