In osk6/oskGM52 mutants, where three primordial germ cells are incorporated into the gonad (on average), the germ cell division rate is faster than in wild-type until the end of the second instar larval stage. However, the proliferation rate slows down as the number of primordial germ cells approaches wild-type numbers.
Individuals carrying one or two copies of P{osk+108} have a wild type phenotype. Most individuals carrying one copy of P{oskBRE-} have anterior pattern deletions, head structures and the first thoracic denticle belt are missing, two copies cause a more severe posteriorization of the body pattern phenotype.
Dvir\oskvirosk provides poterior body patterning to osk2 and osk6 embryos, but in some instances the activity has spread towards the anterior of the embryo.
Strong abdominal defects.
Absence of posterior pole plasm, polar granules and pole cells.
Does not interact with RpII140wimp maternal effect.
bcd protein distribution is the same as in wild type embryos.
osk6/osk3 has increased cell death | embryonic stage phenotype, suppressible by BacA\p35UASp.cWa/Scer\GAL4Tub.PU
osk6/osk9 has embryonic abdomen phenotype, non-enhanceable | maternal effect by Pka-R118304/Df(3L)ME107
osk6/osk9 has embryonic/first instar larval cuticle phenotype, non-enhanceable | maternal effect by Pka-R118304/Df(3L)ME107
osk6 has embryo | maternal effect phenotype, suppressible by tslCBB.bcd/bcd6/tslPZRev32
osk6/osk9 has embryonic/first instar larval cuticle phenotype, non-suppressible | maternal effect by Pka-R118304/Df(3L)ME107
osk6/osk9 has embryonic abdomen phenotype, non-suppressible | maternal effect by Pka-R118304/Df(3L)ME107
tslCBB.bcd, osk6, tslPZRev32 is a suppressor of embryo | maternal effect phenotype of bcd6
bcd6, osk6, tslPZRev32 has embryo | maternal effect phenotype
Expression of BacA\p35Scer\UAS.P\T.cWa under the control of Scer\GAL4tub significantly reduces the amount of TUNEL-positive cell death in osk3/osk6 embryos.
The phenotype of embryos from osk9/osk6 mothers is unaffected by the mothers carrying Pka-R118304/Df(3L)ME107.
Embryos produced by bcd6, osk6 and tslPZRev32 mutant mothers lack all anterior posterior patterning. This phenotype is partially rescued by the addition of tslCBB.bcd, leading to embryos that differentiate filzkorper material, at one or both poles.
Injection of nosN5 RNA into homozygous embryos completely rescues the abdominal phenotype.
Mutant phenotype can be rescued by P element mediated transformation of a wild type gene copy.
Cytoplasm transplanted from osk6 mutant embryos does not rescue the abdominal phenotype of pum13 mutant embryos. Cytoplasm transplanted from pum13 mutant embryos rescues the abdominal phenotype of osk6 mutant embryos to the same extent as wild-type cytoplasm.
hb protein expression in early osk6 mutant embryos has been studied.
Normal localization of osk mRNA.
Although tud protein is present in mutant embryo extracts, its localization in the embryo is altered.
