Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

ALiXf03094 individuals show cytokinetic abscission defects in the germarium, as shown by the near complete absence of spectrosomes and reciprocal over-representation of cells without midbody or midbody rings.

Approximately 60% of mutant egg chambers contain 32 germ cells. These egg chambers contain an oocyte with 5 ring canals.

Mutant females mated to wild-type males show a strongly reduced rate of egg laying (approximately 10%) compared to controls. Less than 10% of the eggs laid hatch.

Eggs laid by wild-type females mated to mutant males show a hatch rate of only approximately 40%.

The fraction of mutant female germline stem cells (GSCs) which contain a spectrosome is smaller than wild type. The fraction of mutant GSC-cystoblast (CB) pairs with a midbody ring is reduced and mutant GSC-CB pairs with a midbody are only very rarely seen. More than half of the mutant female GSCs show abscission defects: linear or branched chains of GSCs are seen in approximately 10% and 30% of cases and approximately 30% of the cells are polyploid.

Approximately 20% of mutant male germline stem cells are found interconnected to chains of daughter cells.

Comments

Expression of ALiXScer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.PG partially rescues the germline stem cell abscission defects seen in ALiXf03094 females. The fraction of egg chambers containing 32 germ cells is also reduced.

Expression of either ALiXF198D.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP or ALiXI211D.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.PG fails to rescue the germline stem cell abscission defects seen in ALiXf03094 females. The 32-cell egg chamber phenotype is also not rescued.
