Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change. Position of mutation on reference sequence inferred by FlyBase curator based on author statement: In the published genome sequence, there is an insertion encoding 13 amino acids (EDSSCAT RRRSLS; MYERS et al. 2000 )
mei-P22103 females show frequent meiotic chromosome segregation errors, as assessed by X-chromosome non-disjunction.
Homozygous females show a low frequency (23.8%) of region 3 cysts with two pro-oocytes (as assayed by c(3)G staining).
Homozygous females show 37.4% non-disjunction of the X chromosome. Crossing over on the third chromosome (th-ca interval) is reduced to 0.3% of wild type. Exposure of homozygous females to 4000rad of X-irradiation induces crossing over as much as 120-fold compared to unirradiated homozygous females and also decreases X chromosome nondisjunction.
mei-P22103 is a non-suppressor of presumptive oocyte phenotype of spn-A1
The high frequency of region 3 cysts containing two pro-oocytes that is seen in spn-A1 homozygous females is not suppressed by mei-P22103.
mei-P22103 is rescued by Scer\GAL4VP16.nanos.UTR/mei-P22UASp.Tag:HA
mei-P22103 is rescued by mei-P22Hsp83.Tag:HA
Expression of mei-P22Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 fully rescues the meiotic nondisjunction seen in mei-P22103 mutants.
