A 2-nucleotide frame shift at position 227 of the coding sequence, leading to a premature stop codon at amino acid position 89.
Replacement of CGACCT with TCCC leads to a -2 frameshift and early translation termination at aa89 after the addition of ~15 novel amino acids.
TCCC
Mettl14fs/Df(2L)BSC200 flies exhibit significant climbing defects, but do not show wing posture defects, as compared to controls.
Mettl14fs/Df(2L)BSC200 has abnormal locomotor behavior phenotype, non-enhanceable by +/Df(3R)Exel6197
Mettl14fs/Df(2L)BSC200 is an enhancer of abnormal locomotor behavior phenotype of Mettl3null/Df(3R)Exel6197
Df(2L)BSC209/+, Mettl14fs has partially lethal - majority live | female phenotype
Mettl14fs/Df(2L)BSC200, Mettl3null/Ime4[+] has visible phenotype
Mettl14fs/Df(2L)BSC200, Mettl3null/Ime4[+] has wing phenotype
Df(2L)BSC209/+;Mettl14fs/+ double heterozygous females show significantly reduced viability compared to Df(2L)BSC209 single heterozygotes.
Ime4null/+, Mettl14fs/Df(2L)BSC200 flies exhibit wing posture defects.
Df(3R)Exel6197/+ does not significantly worsen the climbing defects seen in Mettl14fs/Df(2L)BSC200 flies.
Mettl14fs/Df(2L)BSC200 significantly worsens the climbing defects seen in Ime4null/Df(3R)Exel6197 flies.
