19bp deletion near the start of the open reading frame, resulting in a frameshift and premature stop codon.
19 bp deletion resulting in a frameshift and early translation termination.
Tsp2A1-2/Tsp2A1-2 mutants hatch into first instar larvae but die at this stage. Mutant first instar larvae display defects in smooth septate junctions in the midgut, with septa-like structures occasionally visible but less electron-dense than wild type, plasma membranes of adjacent cells often more closely apposed than in wild type, and appearance of large gaps between the lateral membranes of adjacent cells.
