Description

Amino acid replacement: Y873H.

(Siibak et al., 2017)

Mutated tam at the endogenous locus: carries a Y873H mutation that is the equivalent of p.Y955H in human POLG, which is associated with multi-systemic mitochondrial disease. Generated by re-integration of DNA into the attP site present in tamKO.

Amino acid change:

Y873H | PolG1-PA

Reported amino acid change:

Y873H

Comment:

Analogous Y955H mutation in human POLG implicated in progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mtDNA deletions; mutation carried on in vitro construct; site of nucleotide substitution in fly gene inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change.

      Statement
      Reference

      tamY873H heterozygotes do not show any obvious phenotypic abnormalities, eclose at comparable rates to controls, and have a normal lifespan. Hetero- or homozygotes do not present multiple mtDNA deletions, but homozygous larvae show severe mtDNA depletion.
