spir1/Df(2L)Exel6046 females expressing Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16>spirY232K.Scer\UAS.P\T.RB.T:Avic\GFP are sterile. The mutant oocytes have no detectable actin mesh during mid-oogenesis and consistently exhibit premature streaming. At later stages of oogenesis, no mesh is visible and fast streaming is observed at stage 11.
Scer\GAL4VP16.nanos.UTR, spirY232K.UASp.RB.GFP, Df(2L)Exel6046 fails to rescue spir1
spir1/Df(2L)Exel6046 females expressing Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16>spirY232K.Scer\UAS.P\T.RB.T:Avic\GFP are sterile. The mutant oocytes have no detectable actin mesh during mid-oogenesis and consistently exhibit premature streaming. Furthermore, streaming velocities are indistinguishable from spir1/Df(2L)Exel6046 mutants.
