Description

Imprecise excision of the progenitor P{EPgy2}EY12792 insertion, resulting in a 1733bp deletion extending from -43 to +1689bp relative to the Ddx1 transcription start site (coordinates 3L:22263326..22265059 , release 6 genome), which encompasses the majority of the open reading frame. A 15bp sequence (5'-CATGATGAAATAACA-3') is present in place of the deleted sequence. This 15bp does not correspond to any part of the Ddx1 locus or the original inserted P{EPgy2} element.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygous adult flies are viable, but they are out-competed by their heterozygous siblings unless raised under low density culturing conditions.

Homozygous and Ddx1AX/Df(3L)ED230 males are completely sterile. Homozygous females are completely sterile, while Ddx1AX/Df(3L)ED230 females are able to produce a small number of offspring that survive to adulthood.

Homozygotes show a significant delay in eclosion compared to heterozygous controls. A trend towards later pupation is also seen in the homozygotes, but this trend is not significant.

Homozygous and Ddx1AX/Df(3L)ED230 pupae and adults are significantly shorter than wild-type or heterozygous controls. Homozygous pupae are slightly, but significantly, shorter than Ddx1AX/Df(3L)ED230 pupae.

The ovaries of 3 day old homozygous and Ddx1AX/Df(3L)ED230 females are much smaller than normal and either do not contain mature eggs (homozygotes) or contain only a small number of mature eggs (Ddx1AX/Df(3L)ED230 females). The ovaries of 10 day old homozygous females contain a small number of abnormal eggs that lack dorsal appendages. Mid-stage autophagic egg chambers are seen at both 3 and 10 days post eclosion in homozygous and Ddx1AX/Df(3L)ED230 ovaries.

Early stage egg chambers and germ-line stem cell niches appear normal in homozygous and Ddx1AX/Df(3L)ED230 females.

Early spermatogenesis appears normal in homozygous and Ddx1AX/Df(3L)ED230 males, with developing spermatids undergoing nuclear elongation. However, elongated spermatids are disrupted and scattered. No mature sperm is seen in the seminal vesicles of homozygous males.

Expression of SirupGD14644 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU in both a Ddx1AX/+ and a Ddx1AX/Ddx1AX background results in almost completely lethality.
