Deletion of 8 nucleotides, 1894-1901bp, creating a frameshift that introduces a premature STOP codon in the 6th exon (near the middle of the coding sequence).
8bp deletion of nucleotides 1894-1901 (from the ATG) that leads to a frameshift and early translation termination in the 6th exon.
The progeny of sunnZ3-5839 homozygous males mated to normal females show increased sex chromosome non-disjunction.
The progeny of sunnZ3-5839/Df(3L)ED4470 show increased homologous and sister chromatid non-disjunction in both male and female meiosis. This is true of the sex chromosomes, and the autosomal second and fourth chromosomes.
sunnZ3-5839/Df(3L)ED4470 spermatocytes appear normal in male meiosis I. However, prematurely separated sister chromatids are common during and after anaphase I, and meiosis II is chaotic. Mutants begin losing centromere cohesion by stage S4 and exhibit extensive cohesion loss by stage S5. This results in disrupted sister centromere mono-orientation. Arm cohesion in early meiotic prophase I, and mitotic segregation is normal in these mutants.
Oocytes from sunnZ3-5839/Df(3L)ED4470 females show disruption of centromere clustering, pairing and cohesion during meiosis.
Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16-mediated expression of sunnScer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus rescues the meiotic non-disjunction phenotype of sunnZ3-5839/Df(3L)ED4470 mutants in both sexes.
