Amino acid replacement: G579D.
G2990803A
G579D | okr-PA
Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
Homozygous females show a high frequency (more than 50%) of region 3 cysts with two pro-oocytes (as assayed by c(3)G staining) compared to a frequency of only 9.5% in wild type.
okrWS/Df(2L)JS17 mutants have a similar frequency of single-strand annealing repair (SSA) compared to controls in a P{wIw.FRT} hemizygous assay to study DNA double-stranded break repair when assayed at 38oC, but show a higher frequency of SSA than controls in the same assay at 32oC.
okrWS/Df(2L)JS17 mutants have an increased SSA frequency compared to controls in a P{wIw.FRT}/P{wIw.FRT.8z} homozygous assay to study DNA double-stranded break repair when assayed at 38oC.
Hemizygotes are viable. Hemizygous larvae are sensitive to methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) compared to wild-type larvae, showing a significant reduction in survival after being fed with a 0.08% solution of MMS.
Most extreme eggs are spindle shaped without dorsal appendages. Other eggs have fused dorsal appendages or of normal morphology but remain unfertilized. Eggs often have a second micropyle at the posterior end.
okrWS has sterile phenotype, non-suppressible by c(2)MZ0810
okrWS has presumptive oocyte phenotype, suppressible by pch2EY01788a
The high frequency of region 3 cysts containing two pro-oocytes that is seen in okrWS homozygous females is suppressed by pch2EY01788a.
Mutation does not suppress the bicaudal phenotype of oskbcd.3UTR.T:Zzzz\His6.
