hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Homozygotes die as third instar larvae after a prolonged 20-day larval period. Homozygous larvae have a slower growth rate than normal, and do not reach full size until approximately 4 days after their heterozygous siblings pupariate. 9 day old larvae have tiny, slow-growing imaginal discs, which lose their epithelial organisation as the larvae age. There is massive cell death in the imaginal discs, and dead cells and cell fragments accumulate at the basal surface of the disc epithelium. Blood cells also accumulate around the discs. The first pair of lymph gland lobes begins to melanise at around 9 days after egg laying, and this melanisation spreads posteriorly as the larvae age until all the lobes are melanised and start to disintegrate. 20 day old larvae show a striking accumulation of amorphous tissue in the head region around and inside the imaginal discs, which consists of dead cell fragments and blood cells. The brain is slow-growing and smaller than normal. It develops an abnormal shape and contributes to the amorphous mass of tissue in the 20 day old larva. The penetrance of the mutant phenotype is 100%, but the expressivity is variable, with the degree of melanisation and cell death varying between different larvae. Homozygous clones (that are Minute+ in a Minute heterozygous background) in the leg have wrinkled cuticle and defective bristles. Homozygous larval tissue has a significantly lower mitotic index than wild-type, which decreases as the larvae age, until there are hardly any mitotic cells in 2 week old larvae. The metaphase/anaphase ratio in is 16:1 in mutant larval neuroblasts 5 days after egg laying, compared to 4.6:1 in wild-type. Incomplete chromosome condensation is seen, especially near the centromeres.
The mutant phenotype and lethality are completely rescued by prod+t8. prodScer\UAS.cTa partially rescues the mutant phenotype when expressed using Scer\GAL469B; the lethal phase shifts to the pupal or pharate adult stages, and the larvae have relatively normal imaginal discs with only slightly abnormal folding.
Brain is smaller than wild type with elongated hemispheres. Discs form structureless masses, sometimes fusing with each other and the brain. The eye-antenna discs are larger than others, neoplastic outgrowths. Hyperplastic lymph glands grow as diffuse masses that fills the anterior body cavity, infrequent melanotic masses in larvae.
