Polytene chromosomes normal.
Frameshift after amino acid residue 993, substituting 30 new residues for the terminal 9 amino acids.
frameshift after this amino acid (993) results in the substitution of 30 new residues in place of the last 9 amino acids; exact location/nature of mutation unspecified.
dor4 mutant males exhibit ~60% less spermatogonial cyst death compared to controls.
dor4 male wandering third instar larvae show defects in morphology of LysoTracker-positive puncta and lipid droplets during ecdysone-induced autophagy.
92% of dor4 stage 14 egg chambers show persisting nurse cell nuclei, compared to 7% in controls.
Mutant males have a shortened adult life span compared to controls, with a mean life span of 13.94 days at 25o.
Hemocyte endosomal degradation is significantly reduced in dor4 mutants compared to wild-type cells. This reduction also correlates with an increased severity of eye-colour defect. This reduction also correlates with an increased severity of eye-colour defect (with increased severity in dor1 compared to dor4. Distinct from cells in wild-type and car1 animals, the large endosomes in mutant dor4 alleles appear blocked in progression to later stages.
Synapse size, along with bouton number, is decreased in dor4 mutants.
Eye colour: orange.
Eye colour: dark orange at 25oC.
dor4 has lethal | pupal stage phenotype, enhanceable by hook11
dor[+]/dor4 is an enhancer of visible phenotype of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, bchsEP2299
dor4 is an enhancer of lethal | pupal stage phenotype of hook11
dor[+]/dor4 is a suppressor of increased cell death phenotype of Hsc70-5KK100233, Scer\GAL4NP5130
dor4 is a suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype of hook11
dor[+]/dor4 is an enhancer of eye phenotype of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, bchsEP2299
dor[+]/dor4 is a suppressor of adult midgut progenitor cell phenotype of Hsc70-5KK100233, Scer\GAL4NP5130
Less than 5% of dor4 hk11 double mutants eclose into adults, with the lethal phase occurring in the late pupal stage. dor4 hk11 double mutants have a decreased number of boutons and are indistinguishable from dor4 mutants alone. However, in the presence of a dor duplication, such as Dp(1;Y)1E, the size of the dor4 hk11 double mutant synapse is like hk11 mutants.
dor4 is rescued by dor1-1002.UAS/Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
dor4 is rescued by dor400-1002.UAS/Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
dor4 is not rescued by dorΔ401-800.UAS/Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
dor4 is not rescued by dor1-802.UAS/Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
The eye colour phenotype of dor4 flies is rescued by dor1-1002.Scer\UAS or dor400-1002.Scer\UAS expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF. The eye colour phenotype of dor4 flies is not rescued by dorΔ401-800.Scer\UAS or dor1-802.Scer\UAS expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, and the level of eye pigmentation in these flies is further reduced compared to dor4 single mutant flies.
