Description

A 7 bp deletion after the 31st base pair from the start codon, which introduces a premature stop codon at the position of the 45th amino acid.

Comment:

A seven bp deletion causes a frameshift and early translation termination after the addition of 34 novel amino acids. Translation is postulated to occur from an internal start codon in the mutant.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

kmgΔ7/Df(2L)ED779 mutants are viable, female-fertile but male sterile - the male testes display accumulation of mature primary spermatocytes arrested just before transition to meiosis I.
