Detailed Description

Statement

Reference

mr²/mr² embryos have no muscle defects.

(Drechsler et al., 2018)

mr¹/mr² females show no apparent defect in germline stem cell maintenance.

(Chen et al., 2009)

The nurse cells revert to mitosis at stage 5 in mr¹/mr² egg chambers. Nurse cells in later mr¹/mr² egg chambers often become pycnotic. Embryos derived from mr¹/mr² egg chambers which complete oogenesis complete meiosis, however, the zygotic nuclei and frequently the polar bodies, are arrested on metaphase spindles that are anastral or have broad poles. The chromosomes are hypercondensed in these embryos.

(Kashevsky et al., 2002)

Semi-lethal when hemizygous, with most hemizygotes dying as pharate adults. Escapers have etched tergites and very rough eyes. Nurse cells in homozygous ovaries initiate endo cycles, but later egg chambers contain condensed chromosomes in place of polyploid nurse cell nuclei. These condensed chromosomes are associated with large multipolar spindles. Ring canals are seen to degenerate shortly after the inappropriate spindles are seen. The nurse cell defects are not visible until stage 4 of egg chamber development. The follicle cell epithelium sometimes forms a double layer of cells. Homozygous or mr¹/mr² females sometimes lay eggs (which do not hatch). Fertilised eggs show an early metaphase arrest phenotype, containing usually between 6 and 10 metaphase nuclei. The spindles are broader than wild-type both at the metaphase plate and at the spindle poles. Metaphase spindles are found at the position where the polar bodies are normally located.

(Reed and Orr-Weaver, 1997)

Less extreme than mr. Nearly wild type at 19^oC. female-sterile Oogenesis normal through stage 4; then compound nurse cell chromosomes fall apart and degenerate. Karyosome of oocyte also disappears. Oogenesis does not proceed beyond sixth stage (King, 1964). RK2 at 25^oC or above.

Additional Comments

Genetic Interactions

Statement

Reference

fzr^ie28/+ ; mr²/+ embryos show disrupted myoblast fusion but an overall wild-type muscle morphology, while myoblast fusion is completely abolished in fzr^ie28/+ ; mr²/mr² embryos at stages 16-17.

(Drechsler et al., 2018)

lmgA⁰³⁴²⁴ mr² double mutants die at prepupal stage P4(ii). The mitotic index in third larval instar brains is increased compared to wild type and 31.8 +/- 3.9 % of the cells are polyploid. Third larval instar brains and wing imaginal discs show increased levels of apoptosis compared to wild type.

(Nagy et al., 2012)

mr¹/mr² enhances the loss of germline stem cells that is seen in eff⁸/eff^mer1 females, such that the rate of germline stem cell loss is more rapid in the double mutant females.

(Chen et al., 2009)

In aret^PA/aret^Z2286 ; mr¹/mr² double mutant adult female, germ cells show a high frequency of metaphase arrest beginning during stage 1-2 of oogenesis.
