Mutated tam at the endogenous locus: carries a mutation in a highly conserved residue (amino acid replacement Q1009A). Generated by re-integration of DNA into the attP site present in tamKO. Additional sequences inserted during the re-integration event are also present: 1. a loxP cassette containing the wGMR.PHb marker, upstream of tam, 2. a single attR site, downstream of tam.

Q1009A
CA to GC nucleotide change leads to a Q1009A mutation in the reintroduced copy of the PolG1 gene at the endogenous site.
tamQ1009A/tamQ1009A mutants die in the third instar stage and exhibit significantly lower body weight, as compared to controls.
tamQ1009A/+ flies do not exhibit a significant increase in mtDNA mutation frequency, as compared to wild type. tamQ1009A/tamQ1009A, but not tamQ1009A/+, mutants exhibit a severe reduction in mtDNA levels, as compared to wild type.
tamQ1009A/tamD263A flies do not exhibit any significant difference in body weight or mtDNA levels as compared to controls, but offspring of tamQ1009A/tamD263A mothers exhibit a significant developmental delay.
tamKO/tamQ1009A and tamKO/tamH1038A mutants exhibit lethality, with most individuals dying in the third instar larval stage, and the remainder dying during pupal stage; and larvae exhibit a significant decrease in body weight, as compared to controls.
tam4/tamQ1009A and tam3/tamQ1009A mutants exhibit complete lethality.
