Description

LerpF6 is the result of a partial internal duplication combined with an insertion that places a nearly intact copy of the donor sequence downstream of the intended target sequence. This results in duplications of the intronic sequences flanking the donor, as well as duplication of 3.5 exons from the 5' cluster of Lerp exons.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Although viable and fertile, both homozygous and hemizygous adult LerpF6 mutant flies exhibit a small but statistically significant decrease in body mass relative to wild-type. There is no significant difference in third instar larval weight. Decrease in adult body mass is the only abnormality observed.

Compared with wild-type, homo- and hemizygous LerpF6 mutant adult flies display elevated sensitivity to dietary chloroquine exposure. Dietary chloroquine is a drug that raises lysosomal pH and impairs lysosome hydrolytic activity. Although exposure to dietary chloroquine is also lethal to wild-type flies over a period of days, the survival time of mutants upon chloroquine exposure is significantly reduced compared with wild-type.

The median survival time for homo- and hemizygous LerpF6 mutant flies during amino acid starvation is reduced compared with wild-type flies under identical conditions.
