Dynein axonemal assembly factor 5 (HEAT repeat-containing protein 2 homolog) |
DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE |
Homozygous deletion-mutant flies are not viable. The larvae are smaller but do not display obvious morphological phenotype. RNAi-mediated knockdown in sensory neurons affects flies movement coordination and impairs hearing. Testis-specific RNAi-mediated knockdown does not alter spermatogenesis and in particular the formation of sperm axonemes but it impairs sperm motility. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25232951}. |
