hide Phenotypic Description from the Red Book (Lindsley & Zimm 1992)
Gene/Allele symbols may differ from current usage
Su(Gl)77
Reduces the severity of Gl in flies raised at either 18 or 29. The most severe allele shows more normal facet arrays in the anterior than in the posterior part of the eye. The lamina cell body layer is thicker than normal in its posterior region and the lamina neuropil is somewhat misshapen, particularly anteriorly. The medulla is abnormally rotated, its posterior edge directly apposed to the lamina, but it is more normally organized than in Gl. The familiar abnormal projections from the posterior lamina through the medulla are present. The second optic chiasma is also divided into several tracts. In less extreme cases, the medulla is only slightly rotated and the second optic chiasma is normal.

Dhc64C is required for the rapid transport of grk, bcd AND osk RNAs from nurse cells to the oocyte by a mechanism distinct from the general flow of cytoplasm from nurse cells to oocyte.
RNAi screen using dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene causes spindle pole detachment when assayed in S2 cells. This phenotype can be observed when the screen is performed with or without Cdc27 dsRNA.
dsRNA has been synthesised for this gene and transfected into S2 cells. S2 cells treated with this dsRNA arrest in metaphase, require 50% more time to form a metaphase plate than untreated cells and exhibit centrosome detachment and spindle focusing defects.
Dhc64C activity is required to maintain localisation of bcd at the anterior cortex.
Dhc64C is required to maintain mRNA at its apical localization, following transport, in the blastoderm embryo.
S2 cells transfected with dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene causes detachment of centrosomes from the spindle poles, resulting in a slight increase of spindle size.
Mitotic S2 cells treated with dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene display a striking detachment of centrosomes from spindles and a loss of spindle pole focusing, resulting in an increase in pole-pole spacing. There is also an increase in spindle length and an elevation of the mitotic index.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
Dhc64C may be involved in the prevention of centrosome assembly in unfertilised eggs, and establishing harmony between the chromosome and centrosome cycles.
Spindle pole movements in embryos are directed by a temporally coordinated balance of forces generated by three mitotic motors; cytoplasmic dynein, Klp61F and ncd. Dynein acts to move the poles apart throughout mitosis, and this activity is augmented by Klp61F after the fenestration of the nuclear envelope, which occurs at the onset of prometaphase. ncd generates forces that pull the poles together between interphase and metaphase, antagonising the activity of both cytoplasmic dynein and Klp61F and serving as a brake for spindle assembly.
Mutations in Dhc64C disrupt fast organelle transport in both directions in axons.
Dhc64C function is required for the attachment and migration of centrosomes along the nuclear envelope during interphase/prophase and to maintain the attachment of centrosomes to mitotic spindle poles.
Identification: PCR screen for Dynein heavy chain genes.
Mutant analysis of Dhc64C reveals cytoplasmic dynein is required at two stages of oogenesis. The localisation of dynein in mitotic cysts suggests spindle orientation is mediated by the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein. Later in oogenesis dynein function is necessary for proper differentiation.
Early in oogenesis mutations disrupt spindle organisation in dividing cysts and block oocyte determination.
Cytoplasmic dynein encoded by Dhc64C is essential for Drosophila viability and for cell viability in several tissues.
Clonal analysis suggests that cytoplasmic dynein mutations are cell lethal, and maternal supplies are sufficient for development to larval stages.
Cytoplasmic dynein is required for the proper formation of the oocyte early in oogenesis. Later, during oocyte growth, dynein is required for the transport of materials from the nurse cells to the developing oocyte.
Dhc64C protein acts as a minus-end directed motor that promotes microtubule translocation in vitro.
Dhc64C encodes a cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain polypeptide.
Dhc64C has been cloned and characterised.
