hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Expression of ran[T24N.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16] results in a drastic reduction in female fertility, with an average of only 6.8 progeny per female (compared to 62.1 per wild-type female). Males expressing ran[T24N.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16] are completely sterile. Defects in spindle and karyosome morphology are often seen in oocytes expressing ran[T24N.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16]. The microtubules are often not tapered at the spindle poles and the chromosomes are often disorganised and fail to condense into a single round or oval karyosome. Chiasmate chromosome segregation is not affected in females expressing ran[T24N.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16]. However, the segregation of achiasmate chromosomes is disrupted in these animals. The majority of zygotes derived from females expressing ran[T24N.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16] arrest development without any evidence of embryonic mitotic divisions. Two types of zygote are seen. Approximately half contain the unfused female and male meiotic products and lack organised microtubules, while the remaining half have no visible nuclei.

Co-expression of ran[T24N.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1] and sub[ΔNT.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic-EGFP] under the control of Scer\GAL4[nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16] increases female fertility compared to the fertility of females expressing either ran[T24N.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1] or sub[ΔNT.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic-EGFP] separately. The ectopic spindle phenotype seen in the oocytes of females expressing sub[ΔNT.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic-EGFP] under the control of Scer\GAL4[nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16] is completely suppressed by co-expression of ran[T24N.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1]. The arrest in embryonic development seen in zygotes derived from females expressing ran[T24N.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16] is partially suppressed by co-expression of sub[ΔNT.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic-EGFP].
