Deletion of two cytosines (350 and 351) creates a premature stop codon at position 66/540.
The deletion of two C nucleotides leads to a frameshift and premature translation stop at codon 66 or 128 depending on the Lint-1 isoform.
At 25[o]C temperature, Lint-11 homozygotes are viable and fertile, but egg chambers infrequently show misplaced or supernumerary oocytes. At 29[o]C, females are sterile, as eggs fail to hatch and a significant proportion of ovarioles develop aberrantly and contain egg chambers with extra number of germ cells or oocytes.
Lint-11, l(3)mbt[+]/l(3)mbtGM76 has female sterile phenotype
At 25[o]C temperature, Lint-11/Lint-11, l(3)mbtGM76/+ females are sterile, unlike Lint-11/Lint-11 or l(3)mbtGM76/+ females.
