Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Neuroblasts in polo1/poloS025604 and poloS025604/poloS132408 transheterozygous third instar larval brains are increased in number and show increased time in mitosis, with a delay between spindle assembly checkpoint silencing and anaphase onset. Brain material transplanted into wild-type host abdomens develops into tumors.

poloS025604/poloS132408 transheterozygous third instar larval brains show low but significant levels of aneuploidy.

poloS025604 heterozygotes are viable.

poloS025604 homozygous third instar larval brain exhibit higher mitotic index than controls.

poloΔUSE.GFP expressing poloS025604 homozygous adults exhibit malformation of the abdominal epidermis and tergite defects compared to controls.

poloΔUSE.GFP expressing poloS025604 homozygous third instar larval mitotic neuroblasts exhibit an abnormal number of chromosomes compared to controls.

Homozygous embryos show localised increased or decreased in cardial cell (CC) number, larger than normal CC nuclei and incorrectly positioned CCs.

Approximately 90% of polo1/poloS025604 germaria have a 'two-oocyte phenotype' in region 3 (a single oocyte is already determined in approximately 70% of wild-type germaria by this stage).

Analysis of the few polopA2.T:Avic\GFP;poloS025604 escapers indicates that these individuals exhibit strong defects in abdominal morphology, with the complete absence or incorrect formation of tergites, while all other adult structures appear normal.

Only large polytene larval cells are observed in the epidermis of polopA2.T:Avic\GFP;poloS025604/poloS025604 pupa. No histoblasts are detected in polopA2.T:Avic\GFP;poloS025604/poloS025604 pupa, but are present in larvae.

Transgenic polopA1.T:Avic\GFP;poloS025604 adult flies exhibit a mild abdominal phenotype.

Several nuclei in prophase have one dislocated centrosome in syncytial embryos from heterozygous poloS025604 mutant mothers.

Mutant larval central brains have a normal number of neuroblasts at 24 hours after larval hatching (ALH) (36.5 +/- 4.5). However, by 96 hours ALH, the number of neuroblasts in the mutant central brains is increased dramatically to 253.6 +/- 44.5 (compared to 90.7 +/- 7.0 in wild type).

Clones in the central larval brain derived from single cell mutant neuroblasts show an ectopic self-renewal phenotype, containing multiple neuroblast cells (wild-type single cell clones only contain one neuroblast).

The tight coupling of spindle orientation with crescent formation seen in wild-type neuroblasts is disrupted in mutant metaphase neuroblasts with two centrosomes.

Meiosis does not initiate properly in region 2a of the polo1/poloS025604 germarium. Cysts often contain abnormal synaptonemal complexes and meiosis restriction to one cell is delayed.

poloS025604/poloS132408 animals survive to adult but are sterile.

Lethal phase is during the third larval instar. Mutant larval brains have a mitotic index that is elevated about 11-fold above that of wild-type cells. The mitotic chromosomes are much more highly condensed than normal. Many cells appear arrested in a metaphase-like state (the metaphase/anaphase ratio is 51.4 compared to 5.8 in wild-type cells). The proportion of figures in which chromosomes are well separated at anaphase is relatively low, although in absolute numbers it is comparable to that in wild-type cells. 16.1% of mitotic cells are aneuploid or polyploid. A small fraction (1.4%) of circular mitotic figures is seen. Some cells show premature separation of at least one set of their sister chromatids. The metaphase arrested cells have robust arrays of microtubules but lack asters at their poles. 79.3% of pairs of sister centromeric regions show separation.

Lethality acts in the prepupal and pupal stages.

poloS025604/+ ; Df(3R)Exel6157/+ double heterozygous embryos show asymmetric cell division defects in "svp" cardiac progenitor cells that are significantly more severe than the additive effects of each of the two single heterozygotes. Defects in the symmetric cell divisions that give rise to the tin-expressing cardial cells are also significantly more severe in the double heterozygotes.

poloS025604/+ ; Df(1)CHES-1-like1/+ double heterozygous embryos show asymmetric cell division defects in "svp" cardiac progenitor cells that are significantly more severe than the additive effects of each of the two single heterozygotes. Defects in the symmetric cell divisions that give rise to the tin-expressing cardial cells are also significantly more severe in the double heterozygotes.

Expression of maelS138D.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.PG partially suppresses the defect in oocyte commitment (high frequency of 'two-oocyte phenotype' in region 3 of the germarium) that is seen in polo1/poloS025604 germaria.

Expression of maelS138A.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.PG does not suppress the defect in oocyte commitment (high frequency of 'two-oocyte phenotype' in region 3 of the germarium) that is seen in polo1/poloS025604 germaria.

Sir217/+ suppresses the defect in oocyte commitment (high frequency of 'two-oocyte phenotype' in region 3 of the germarium) that is seen in polo1/poloS025604 germaria.

pch2EY01788a/pch2EY01788a suppresses the defect in oocyte commitment (high frequency of 'two-oocyte phenotype' in region 3 of the germarium) that is seen in polo1/poloS025604 germaria.

The ectopic neuroblast self-renewal phenotype seen in single cell poloS025604 clones in the larval central brain is suppressed by expression of numbPTB.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4wor.PA.

The non-disjunction phenotype seen in mei-S3328/+ sperm is partially suppressed by polo1, poloS025604.

The lethal phase of Cdc27S092309 is advanced to an earlier developmental stage when in combination with poloS025604. The stage of death is also earlier than with poloS025604 alone.

Expression of Mmus\Plk1Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 does not rescue the sterility of polo1/poloS025604 females.

The majority of poloS025604 homozygotes expressing Mmus\Plk1Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 only survive to the second larval instar stage, in contrast to poloS025604 single homozygotes which survive to the third larval instar stage.
