mtDNA replication (EdU incorporation) is completely absent in region 2b of hts01103/Df(2R)BSC26 mutant germaria. Replication appears normal in the ovarian stem cells and post-germarium egg chambers.
hts01103/Df(2R)BSC26 flies do not show any lesions in the lamina or medulla one day after eclosion. However, vacuoles develop in the lamina after 14 days, and extend to the medulla after 28 days. Wild type brains of this age are normal.
Fourteen-day-old hts01103/Df(2R)BSC26 flies show severe deficits in climbing up a tube (8cm) within 8 seconds, compared to wild type.
20 day old hts01103/Df(2R)BSC26 males show elevated spindle misorientation in the male germline stem cells (GSCs), without a significant increase in centrosome misorientation compared to controls. Spindle misorientation is not seen in the GSCs of newly eclosed males.
hts01103/Df(2R)BSC26 flies show a severe disruption of the medulla. The regular array of R7 and R8 axons is lost and axons clump together forming irregularly spaced thick bundles and gaps in between. R8 and R7 axons follow disordered paths from M1 to their respective target layer and specifically R8 often overshoots its correct target layer.
Flies that are overall hts01103/+ but have hts01103 homozygous eyes show no obvious defect in the medulla.
Many egg chambers from hts01103/Df(2R)BSC26 frequently lack a full complement of germ cells.
Gonial cells of hts01103/Df(2R)BSC26 testes do not show fusome structures by immunostaining of Klp61F.
In contrast to wild type, many spermatocytes in hts01103/Df(2R)BSC26 mutants contain too many or too few centrosomes.
In contrast to wild type, 33% of meiotic spermatocytes in hts01103/Df(2R)BSC26 mutant testes show spindle abnormalities, including monopolar and multipolar spindles.
While spermatocytes within a cyst proceed through meiosis in near synchrony in wild type animals, cysts of hts01103/Df(2R)BSC26 testes harbour spermatocytes at several different stages of meiosis as well as post-meiotic spermatids.

A hts1/hts01103 background, which removes the fusome from ovaries, results in suppression of the synchronous additional division found in germline stem cells expressing DetS125E.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16.
The eye degeneration phenotype (rough eye with disorganized ommatidial lattice and interommatidial bristles) characteristic for flies expressing Zzzz\CGG90.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is significantly worsened by combination with a single copy of hts01103.
The eye phenotype of rokcat.GMR flies is suppressed in a hts01103/+ or diak07135/+ background.
The lack of crossveins in wings from animals expressing rokcat.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E is not suppressed in a hts01103/+ background, but is suppressed in a diak07135/+ background.

The transposon insertion in hts01103 is predicted to affect all hts transcripts.
Based on fusome assembly and immunoblot analysis, hts mutants can be placed in an allelic series from the most to the least severe: hts01103 > hts1 > htsKG06777 > htsk06121.
