Lesion within the Tom40 coding sequence that results in a new stop codon. This is predicted to result in a truncated protein of 174 amino acid residues.
A 5bp deletion in Tom40 affecting codons 124-126 leads to a frameshift and early translation termination. A polypeptide of 174aa is produced.
Tom40CRISPR clones in mosaic early third instar larval fat bodies show small cells that accumulate autophagosome-like structures (Atg8a-positive) wrapping ubiquitinated protein aggregates, as compared to controls.
Tom40CRISPR clones in mosaic eyes show loss of rhabdomeres/neurodegeneration, as compared to controls.
Tom40CRISPR is rescued by Tom40UAS.Tag:V5/Scer\GAL4Cg.PA
