A G to A nucleotide change at the second or third position of the Trp codon leads to a nonsense mutation (exact site of mutation unspecified). Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase base on reported amino acid change.
Females carrying homozygous follicle cell clones produce round eggs.
The planar organisation of basal actin filaments in the follicle cell epithelium at oogenesis stage 7 is disrupted in when the follicle epithelium is primarily composed of homozygous cells, such that the filaments no longer align perpendicular to the anterior-posterior axis. Stage 10 egg chambers containing homozygous follicle cell clones are often shorter and rounder than normal.
