Expression of subΔNT.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 results in the formation of ectopic spindles in 98% of oocytes. The ectopic spindles cluster and form in many regions in the oocyte without direct contact with chromosomes.
Stage 14 oocytes expressing subΔNT.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 contain a large number of bundled microtubules that appear like bipolar spindles. Most of these "ectopic" spindles are not associated with chromosomes. The karyosomes are usually seen to have prematurely split into at least two masses of chromosomes that are scattered in the oocyte cytoplasm. These ectopic spindles are not seen in stage 13 or earlier stage oocytes.
Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR, subΔNT.UASp.EGFP has female sterile phenotype, suppressible | partially by Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR/RanT24N.UASp.Tag:HA
Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR, subΔNT.UASp.EGFP has female sterile phenotype, non-suppressible by RanUASp.Tag:HA/Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR
subΔNT.UASp.EGFP/Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR is a suppressor | partially of female sterile phenotype of Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR, RanT24N.UASp.Tag:HA
Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR, subΔNT.UASp.EGFP has spindle | ectopic phenotype, suppressible by Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR/RanT24N.UASp.Tag:HA
Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR, subΔNT.UASp.EGFP has oocyte phenotype, suppressible by Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR/RanT24N.UASp.Tag:HA
Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR, subΔNT.UASp.EGFP has spindle | ectopic phenotype, non-suppressible by RanUASp.Tag:HA/Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR
Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR, subΔNT.UASp.EGFP has oocyte phenotype, non-suppressible by RanUASp.Tag:HA/Scer\GAL4VP16.nos.UTR
The frequency of the ectopic spindle phenotype seen in the oocytes of females expressing subΔNT.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 is not suppressed by co-expression of ranScer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1.
Co-expression of ranT24N.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1 and subΔNT.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 increases female fertility compared to the fertility of females expressing either ranT24N.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1 or subΔNT.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic-EGFP separately.
The ectopic spindle phenotype seen in the oocytes of females expressing subΔNT.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 is completely suppressed by co-expression of ranT24N.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1.
The arrest in embryonic development seen in zygotes derived from females expressing ranT24N.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 is partially suppressed by co-expression of subΔNT.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic-EGFP.
