Imprecise excision of P{SUPor-P}peloKG06646 results in deletion of 107bp in the 2nd exon of pelo, resulting in an early stop codon.
A 107 bp deletion in the second exon of pelo resulting from the imprecise excision of P{SUPor-P}peloKG06646 that leads to early translation termination.
The testes of peloPB60 homozygotes show a significant and progressive decrease in germline stem cells, as well as meiosis defects, with abnormally large spermatids containing 4N or 2N chromosomal content, and large nebenkern, as compared to controls; unlike controls, individualization complexes are absent and the spermatid nuclei are scattered.
peloPB60 heterozygous males also show defects in late spermatogenesis, namely significantly fewer individualization complexes and randomly scattered spermatid nuclei along the testicular tube, despite of no changes in germline stem cell number, as compared to controls.
The testes of peloPB60/pelo1 transheterozygotes have significantly fewer germline stem cells than in controls and lack both elongated spermatid nuclei bundles and individualization complexes.

The near complete sterility (minimal number of laid eggs, very low hatching rate) of pelo1/peloPB60 transheterozygous females can be partially rescued by expression of RpS30Scer\UAS.P\T.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 in the mutant background.
The spermatogenesis defects but not male sterility characteristic for pelo1/peloPB60 transheterozygous flies can be partially rescued by expression of Mmus\PeloScer\UAS.P\T.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 while the Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL-driven expression restores male fertility to near wild-type level.

pelo1/peloPB60 is rescued by peloUASp.cXa/Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL

pelo1/peloPB60 is partially rescued by peloUASp.cXa/Scer\GAL4VP16.nanos.UTR
Expressing peloUASp.cXa under the control of Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR fully rescues the male sterility and spermatogenesis defects (male germline stem cell number, individualization complex formation and spermatid nuclei elongation defects) observed in peloPB60/pelo1 transheterozygotes. Expressing peloP210A.UASp under the control of Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR, however, fails to rescue the male sterility and individualization complex formation defects, and only partially rescues the male germline stem cell number and spermatid nuclei elongation defects.
The near complete sterility (minimal number of laid eggs, very low hatching rate) of pelo1/peloPB60 transheterozygous females can be partially rescued by expression of peloScer\UAS.P\T.cXa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 in the mutant background. Expression under the Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 driver rescues the spermatogenesis defects (no individualization complexes and waste bags) as well as the male sterility, which can also bes rescued by Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL-driven expression.
