Nucleotide substitution: T?C.
The natural stop codon at codon 215 is converted into a glutamine codon. This is predicted to produce a protein containing 12 additional amino acids compared to the wild-type protein.
Amino acid replacement: term215Q.
T12525083C
term215Q | ver-PA; term215Q | ver-PB
term215Q
Stop codon mutated, predicted to result in a polypeptide that is 12 residues longer than wild-type. 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.
In ver1 homozygous larvae, neuroblasts exhibit telomeric fusions, particularly in autosomes.
Homozygotes die at the larval/pupal boundary.
The mitotic cells from the brains of homozygous, ver1/verS147910 and ver1/Df(3L)sex204 larvae show frequent telomeric associations, some of which generate multicentric chromosomes that resemble little "trains" of chromosomes. Both single telomeric associations (a single telomere associated with either its sister or a nonsister telomere) and double telomeric associations (a pair of sister telomeres associated with another pair) are seen.
