nurse cell & nucleus | germ-line clone

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Heterozygous arm1 mutant flies have normal wings.

Homozygous arm1 mutant embryos are small compared to wild type with severe segment polarity defects.

Homozygous mutant germ-line clones do not produce embryos, due to a defect in oogenesis.

Embryos expressing armS14.T:Hsap\MYC in an arm1 mutant background do not show a wg loss of function phenotype in the cuticle. The embryos have defects in the ventral epidermis and the head that resemble a weak to moderate shg mutant phenotype. In particular, there are foci of cell death in and around the optic placodes. The optic placode does form but loses its epithelial structure and fails to invaginate in late embryos.

The addition of arm1 suppresses the eye phenotype seen in Hsap\MAPTGMR.Ex.PJ animals almost to wild-type, except for the anterior margin.

The gnathal lobes are reduced in mutant embryos.

Large follicle cell clones mutant for arm1 form a follicular epithelium. The follicle cells often have a flat shape or show a multilayered structure.

Homozygous female germ line clones give rise to egg chambers with misplaced oocytes in 47.5% of cases. The misplaced oocytes are properly determined and have a normal karyosome.

Females with homozygous germlines do not complete oogenesis and do not lay eggs. The oocyte is positioned randomly in the egg chambers of these females, nurse cells and their nuclei are an irregular shape and size, and floating ring canals and actin inclusions are seen. Nurse cell dumping is inhibited. Hemizygous embryos show a severe segment polarity phenotype characterised by a reduced length (approximately 1/3 wild-type), loss of head structures and a lawn of denticles.

Enhances the mutant wing phenotype of survivors produced by Scer\GAL4en-e16E mediated expression of P{UAS-shg.CADi} (most die as pupae).

Cardiac arrest phenotype, foregut cells are clustered at the top of the proventriculus and cannot migrate inside to form the cardiac valve.

Clones generated late in development display abnormal cell differentiation and alterations of patterning in the wing margin.

Defective in gonad assembly.

Cortical actin cytoskeleton, cytoplasmic actin filaments and ring canals are all disrupted in arm mutant germlines, the nurse cells' nuclei may be mis-positioned and there may be large aggregates of actin in both nurse cells and oocyte. In some mutant egg chambers border cell migration is perturbed. Unlaid eggs become surrounded by eggshells with normally positioned dorsal/anterior chorionic appendages and with a micropyle at the anterior end.

Mirror segmentation phenotype of embryos is not altered by wghs.PN.

Homozygous clone tissue dies in the imaginal discs of larvae suggesting that arm+ activity is required in late larval and pupal stages.

Embryos have large holes in the cuticle covering the head, are only one third as long as wild type embryos and have slight defects in dorsal closure.

Neuronal cell fate remains unchanged.

Head and dorsal closure defects. Abnormal oogenesis.

Segmentation of homozygous embryos appears defective by germband shortening, with a mirror image duplication of the anterior third of each segment. The phenotype is cell autonomous in mosaic embryos. Homozygous germ line clones in females are arrested in oogenesis.

One copy of arm1 is unable to enhance the wing notching seen in Nnd-3 heterozygotes.

One copy of arm1 is unable to enhance the wing notching seen in N264-40 heterozygotes.

Heterozygous arm1 enhances the wing notching and wing hair loss seen when Klp64DNIG.10642R is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4nub-AC-62.

In contrast to either mutation alone, more than 50% of flies heterozygous for Klp64Dk1 and arm1 show significant loss of wing bristles and wing margin notching.

Approximately 20% of embryos double heterozygous for Klp64Dk33 and arm1 exhibit ectopic denticles in the space between normal denticle belts. The phenotype is more severe than is seen in Klp64Dk33 homozygotes. Klp64Dk33/+; arm1/+ embryos at stage 10 show segment polarity phenotypes in the posterior region. The anterior region shows loss of cuticle due to incomplete cellularization.

59.8% of gonads fail to compact properly in enaC14-06/+, arm1/+ transheterozygous embryos, compared to 22.1 in arm1/+ single heterozygotes.

The addition of arm1 has no effect on Df(2R)aEX1/a7 flies.

The addition of arm1 enhances the wing phenotype seen in mamN.Scer\UAS, Scer\GAL4C96 flies, in a partially penetrant manner, exhibiting loss of additional wing blade material along the posterior margin and bristle loss along the anterior margin.

Enhances wing margin phenotype of fzScer\UAS.N, Scer\GAL469B.

Heterozygosity for arm1 partially abolishes the protective effect of Li[+] with respect to photoreceptor loss in Hsap\HTTGMR.Q120 flies.

The defects seen in the ovarioles of females with homozygous arm1 germline clones are completely rescued by Hsap\JUParm.PW or Mmus\Catnbarm.PW provided maternally. These rescued females can lay eggs, and a small fraction of them are fertilised (1% for Hsap\JUParm.PW, 2% for Mmus\Catnbarm.PW). The embryos produced from these eggs lack the head regions and parts of the cuticle, resembling strong zygotic shg mutants. The segment polarity phenotype of hemizygous embryos is slightly rescued by Hsap\JUParm.PW or Mmus\Catnbarm.PW.
