Mbs3/Df(3L)Exel6127 mutant third instar larval neuroblasts display abnormalities in cell shape changes from early anaphase to telophase during asymmetric cell division: the furrowing is initiated in extreme basal positions relative to wild-type neuroblast but subsequently shifts apically, past the normal wild-type furrow position, causing a slight reduction in the physical asymmetry of the cell division.

Homozygotes for Mbs3 are lethal during early larval stages.

Transheterozygous Mbs3/MbsP2r31 animals grow slowly. They become wandering third instar larvae 6 to 7 days after egg laying (AEL) as compared with the normal 5 days AEL. After starting to wander, the mutant larvae are semi-paralysed, and survive for several days without forming puparium. In such mutant larvae, imaginal discs continue to grow and develop to a slightly larger size than that of wild-type discs. These mutant imaginal discs, compared with wild-type, are disorganised and multi-layered. Furthermore, adjacent imaginal discs are frequently fused to each other, suggesting a tumorous growth of imaginal cells.

In the wild-type wing imaginal disc, marked cells are observed within a straight stripe along the anterior-posterior boundary. In contrast, the anterior-posterior boundary in Mbs3/MbsP2r31 mutant discs, as visualised by marked cell clones, appears diffuse, not well defined.

Embryonic development in embryos derived from MbsEP3727/Df(3L)th117 females mated to wild-type males is normal in most cases. However, about 25% of embryos derived from MbsEP3727/Df(3L)th117 females mated to Mbs3/+ males fail to hatch. About 80% of the embryos that fail to hatch have a "dorsal open" phenotype, and in the remaining embryos the pattern of dorsal hairs is disturbed along the dorsal midline. The leading edge cells fail to fully elongate during dorsal closure, with some remaining polygonal, in Mbs mutant embryos derived from MbsEP3727/Df(3L)th117 females mated to Mbs3/+ males. The epidermal cells located more ventrally elongate nearly normally. There is an abnormal accumulation of F-actin within the leading edge cells, while its distribution along the leading edge is essentially unaffected.

Statement
Reference

The Mbs3 mutation does not affect the viability of flw1 mutants.

The lethality of Mbs mutant embryos derived from MbsEP3727/Df(3L)th117 females mated to Mbs3/+ males is suppressed by zipEbr/+.
