Description

Nucleotides 145-558 are deleted and replaced with a 158bp insertion. This leads to a frameshift after codon 47.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

sa1/sa2 adult heterozygote males show morphological defects of the nuclear lamina in stage S4-S6 spermatocytes (the lamina has distinctly more ballon-like shape, lacking the deformations that correlate with chromosome distribution seen in wild-type), while in stage S3 the lamina is of wild-type appearance.

sa1/sa2 mutant spermatocytes exhibit meiotic arrest and other defects, including bivalent chromosomes condensing to spherical shapes away from the nuclear periphery, and failure of the nucleolus to fully break down.

sa1/sa2 males are sterile due to arrested spermatogenesis at spermatocyte stage.

Early stages of spermatogenesis up through mature primary spermatocytes are present and normal. Postmeiotic stages are completely absent. Mutant testes have an abundance of mature primary spermatocytes with large, round nuclei and prominent nucleoli. Triple mutant aly1, can1, sa1 homozygotes are female fertile and male sterile, with similar effects on testis squashes as sa1 and can1. Spermatocytes arrest in the G2/M transition of meiosis I with partial chromosome condensation.

male-sterile Primary spermatocytes arrested premeiotically but apparently after attaining full size; testes become filled with mature primary spermatocytes.
