Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygous loj00898 mutant females that have been mated with wild type males are unable to lay eggs. However they are able to ovulate and move eggs through the uterus, as 85% of flies have an egg lodged in their uterus and the remainder have an egg in the oviduct. loj00898 heterozygotes are able to lay eggs and only 35% of females have an egg in the uterus upon dissection.

The oviposition defects seen in loj00898/loj04026 mutant females cannot be rescued through feeding the flies either octopamine or glutamate.

loj00898 homozygotes or loj00898/loj04026 mutants show oviposition defects rendering them sterile.

In homozygous and loj00898/Df(3L)ZN47 females, one or more mature eggs become lodged within the genital tract, causing a "logjam" of eggs within the female and preventing the release of eggs. In almost all cases an egg is found in the uterus and in many females eggs are also found within the lateral or common oviducts. Homozygous and loj00898/Df(3L)ZN47 females mate with latency and frequency similar to that of control females when mated to wild-type males.

Comments

Expression of lojScer\UAS.N9d in octopaminergic neurons under the control of either Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 or Scer\GAL4C164 rescues the egg deposition defects seen in loj00898/loj04026 mutant females. Expression of lojScer\UAS.N9d under the control of the neuropeptidergic driver Scer\GAL4dimm-929 also rescues the phenotype.

Expression of lojScer\UAS.N9d using Scer\GAL4CY2 rescues oviposition behaviour and sterility of loj00898 mutants.

Expression of lojScer\UAS.N9d using Scer\GAL4SG18.1 rescues oviposition behaviour and sterility of loj00898 and loj00898/loj04026 mutants.

Expression of lojScer\UAS.N9d using Scer\GAL4185Y, Scer\GAL4c355 or Scer\GAL4c698a does not rescue oviposition behaviour or sterility of loj00898 mutants.

Complete or partial loss of the P{PZ} element is sufficient to rescue the loj mutant phenotype.
