The last three nucleotides of the third intron of Vps16A have been mutated from CAG to GAG.
C9267807G
CAG to GAG mutaton at the 3' end of the 3rd intron is thought to interfere with splicing.
Autolysosome formation is inhibited in the fat body cells of starved Vps16AFUD mutant wandering third instar larvae. The cytoplasm of these cells is filled with typical double-membrane autophagosomes.
Autolysosome formation is inhibited in the fat body cells of starved Vps16AFUD/Df(3R)ED5339 mutant wandering third instar larvae.
Separable from: P{lacW}l(3)S007902S007902
The lethality and autophagosome defects seen in Vps16AFUD are separable from the P{lacW}l(3)S007902S007902 insertion.
