Insertion in the coding region.
The P{EP}c(2)MEP2115 insertion is 61 amino acids from ATG within the third exon.
oocyte (with c(2)MZ0810)
In c(2)MEP2115 germaria, the synaptonemal complex begins to load as small patches near the centromeres and multiple additional locations, but fails to elongate the central region components into full tracks of synaptonemal complex.
Oocytes of c(2)MEP2115/c(2)MZ0810 transheterozygous mutants display defects in synaptonemal complex assembly, while the centromere clustering and sister chromatid cohesion (assessed by number of cid foci) in pachytene oocytes is not affected.
Mutant females show a dramatic elevation in X chromosome non-disjunction during meiosis compared to controls.
Homozygotes exhibit a high rate on non-disjunction (29.3% X chromosome non-disjunction) and a reduced number of crossovers, with the number of crossovers per physical distance diminishing as the region approaches the centromere. When irradiated c(2)MZ0810 females do not show a large increase in crossing over levels.

Combination with c(2)MEP2115/c(2)MZ0810 in transheterozygous state cannot suppress the decrease in average number of c(3)G-positive patches in oocytes between regions 2a and 3 of the germarium observed in flies expressing SAGL00534 under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 but it does ameliorate the reduction in patches number observed in flies expressing Nipped-BGL00574.
sunn167-109/Df(3L)ED4470;c(2)MEP2115/c(2)MZ0810 double mutant flies do not show any evidence of synaptonemal complex assembly in oocytes.
c(2)MEP2115/c(2)MZ0810,ord5/ord10 double mutants show defects in centromere clustering and sister chromatid cohesion (assessed by number of cid foci) in pachytene oocytes relative to controls.
c(2)MEP2115, mei-W684572 double mutant mothers show a decrease in crossovers in most chromosomal regions, though not in the st-cu region.
c(2)MZ0810/c(2)MEP2115 is rescued by Scer\GAL4VP16.nanos.UTR/c(2)MUASp.Tag:HA
c(2)MEP2115 is rescued by c(2)M-FRT.Tag:MYC

A 1hr heat-shock induced pulse of expression of c(2)MScer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1 (controlled by Scer\GAL4hs.PB) partially reduced the chromosome nondisjunction frequency in the eggs laid 7-10 days after the heat-shock (these would have been in the germarium at the time of the heat-shock), Scer\GAL4bam.T:Hsim\VP16-driven expression of c(2)MScer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1 fails to rescue the nondisjunction phenotype, in contrast to expression driven by Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 which results in full rescue.
Phenotypic analysis (non-disjunction) provides an allelic series: c(2)MEP2115 > c(2)MZ0810 > c(2)MZ3780.
