hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
sls[j1D7] heterozygosity greatly increases the adult lethality of Df(3R)Mlp84B[P8]/Df(3R)dsx2M mutants. sls[j1D7] heterozygosity also exacerbates the pupal case elongation phenotype associated with Df(3R)Mlp84B[P8]/Df(3R)dsx2M or Mlp84B[P20]/Df(3R)dsx2M. sls[j1D7] heterozygosity reduces the viability of Mlp84B[P20]/Df(3R)dsx2M mutants to zero. sls[j1D7] heterozygosity in a Df(3R)Mlp84B[P8]/Df(3R)dsx2M mutant background leads to striking muscle abnormalities. Most muscle fibers are wavy and/or spindly in appearance. A significant number of fibers are torn or show some degree of fraying. Closer examination of the double mutants reveals a profound loss of sarcomeric structure of single muscle fibers from third instar fillet preparations. Neither Df(3R)Mlp84B[P8]/Df(3R)dsx2M hemizygotes, nor sls[j1D7] heterozygotes on their own display any obvious structural abnormalities at the light microscopic level.
23.7% of nuclei in slse4/slsj1D7 larval brain neuroblasts show chromosome undercondensation (under condensation of heterochromatin as well as euchromatin is seen). Additional mitotic defects such as premature sister chromatid separation, polyploidy, aneuploidy and chromosome breakage are also seen.
Mutant embryos show grossly normal morphology, normal segmentation, normal epidermal denticle belts and normal patterning of the neuromusculature. They show greatly reduced movement compared to wild-type. Mature embryos show striking defects in individual muscle fibre morphology. The parallel myofilament array seen in wild-type muscles is disrupted and myofilaments are arranged irregularly, both longitudinally and transversely. The unit of a thick myosin filament surrounded by an array of thin actin filaments can form correctly, whereas the overall arrangement of myofilaments is largely disrupted.
