Excision of P{EPgy2}Sep2EY05856 resulting in deletion of the 5' two-thirds of Sep2, corresponding to Release 5 coordinates 3R:16412437..16414076 .
1640 bp deleiton resulting from the imprecise excision of P{EPgy2}Septin2EY05856 (removes 3R:16412437..16414076 in R5 coordinates).
Homozygous adults lay eggs with a shorter anterior-posterior axis than wild type.
Sibling crosses between homozygotes either produce no eggs, or eggs that don't hatch. Crosses between homozygous females and wild type males result in a few viable eggs, but eggs are not produced or don't hatch in the majority of cases. Crosses between homozygous males and wild type females result in a viable eggs in 20% of cases, and unhatched eggs in the other 80%.
About half of Sep21/Sep22 transheterozygotes die as pharates.
Only 54% of Sep22 egg chambers have the wild type number of nurse cell nuclei (15); the remaining chambers have either more or fewer, ranging from 3 to 57.
Septin22/Septin21, Septin52/Septin51 has imaginal disc | third instar larval stage phenotype
