      Reference

      Individualisation complexes assembled around spermatid nuclear bundles are intact in mltEY02157/mlt2 testes, but progressed individualisation complexes (those no longer co-localising with the nuclear bundle) are often disrupted, having one or more investment cones out of register. Sleeves of F-actin associated with highly condensed spermatid bundles at the most basal end of the testis tubule are sometimes seen.

      Although the P{ry11}mlt2 insertion maps within both the 5'UTR of the CG12214-RB isoform and an intron of KCNQ (nested genes, CG12214 is entirely within a large intron of KCNQ), complementation analysis indicates that the "mlt" mutant phenotype caused by this insertion (spermatid individualisation defects) is due to an effect on CG12214 and not on KCNQ.
