Mitotic cells from colchicine-treated Pdxk1 mutant brains display ~6% chromosome aberrations (CABs), compared to ~0,5% in wild type cells. A significantly higher proportion of CABs is seen in Pdxk2/Df(3L)AC1 mutant cells.
Mitotic cells from colchicine-treated Pdxk1/Pdxk2 mutant brains display ~6% chromosome aberrations (CABs), compared to ~0,5% in wild type cells.
Dissecting the brains of Pdxk2 mutant third instar larvae and incubating them in medium supplemented with 1% glucose causes a substantial increase in the number of chromosome aberrations (CABs) compared with controls incubated in saline. An even greater increase in CAB frequency is seen when larval brains are incubated in saline supplemented with 1% fructose. Neither sucrose or fructose increases CAB frequency in wild type flies. The effects of both sugars are completely suppressed when 1 mM PLP is added to the medium.
Hemizygotes die during the pupal to adult stages.
Expression of Hsap\PDXKtub.T:Ivir\HA1 rescues the high frequency of chromosome aberrations compared to controls seen in Pdxk2 mutants when exposed to colchicine.
Pdxk2 is rescued by PdxkTub.Tag:HA
