Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

sgg1 mutant third instar larvae display crawling defects: the larvae crawl more slowly and switch directions more frequently than wild-type controls.

Most of the eggs derived from mothers carrying sgg1 mutant germline clones are unable to complete meiosis. 86.4% of eggs show an anaphase I-arrested chromosome configuration. Metaphase I arrest appeared normal in the mature oocytes.

Metaphase in hemizygous sgg1 mutant male larval neuroblasts is delayed compared to wild type controls. The mitotic spindles are curved or bent and the metaphase plate of chromosomes is frequently shifted off-axis and near the cortex. However, many, if not all, of the cells with abnormalities are able to exit mitosis. Spindle microtubule structure is disrupted in sgg1 mutant neuroblasts. Gaps are seen between microtubule bundles, rather than appearing centrally in the cell as is seen in wild type and overall intensity of microtubules is lower. Treatment with colchicine shows that the spindle assembly checkpoint is disrupted; 11.5% of sgg1 mutant cells undergo premature sister chromatid separation in contrast to only 1.1% in wild type.

Mutant clones differentiate an excess of neural precursors, penetrance is incomplete so some epidermis remains between the bristles. Along the borders mutant bristles are found: sgg- cells have a neural fate. Wild type precursors also form along the mosaic border.

Germline clones survive, embryos die.

Embryos lack most of ventral denticles.

Clonal analysis shows differentiation of large numbers of supernumerary bristles. The microchaetae and macrochaetae are found in their normal positions.

Hemizygous progeny derived from heterozygous females die during early larval stages. Homozygous clones in the wing show homeotic transformation of hairs into bristles.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The reduced size of the posterior compartment of the wing that is seen in animals expressing crolScer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E is suppressed if they are also heterozygous sgg1.

sgg1/+ ; L2/+ flies show complete elimination of the eye field in 15% of cases. sgg1/+ ; Lrev6-3/+ flies show loss of the ventral eye.

Xenogenetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

Introducing the sgg1 mutation to flies expressing Hsap\APP695.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4c739 does not result in any rescue of short term memory defects.

sgg1 suppresses Syt1 aggregation in motor axons in the NMJ of Scer\GAL4elav.PU>Hsap\APP695.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC third instar larvae. sgg1 suppresses the effect of Pp2B-14DAct.Δ.Scer\UAS exacerbating the aggregation in motor axons in the NMJ of Scer\GAL4elav.PU>Hsap\APP695.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC third instar larvae.

One copy of sgg1 suppresses the rough eye phenotype seen in flies expressing Hsap\MAPTGMR.Ex.PJ.

Rnor\Gsk-3αhs.PR does not rescue sgg1 at all, even under maximal heat shock. Rnor\Gsk-3βhs.PR can partially rescue sgg1.

Comments

Expression of sggScer\UAS.P\T.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 rescues the meiotic defects seen in sgg1 mutant germline clones.

Expression of sggA.hs rescues the curved spindle phenotype seen in the neuroblasts of hemizygous and homozygous sgg1 mutant larvae.

sggmR10 rescues hemizygous males to viable and (poorly) fertile adults. sggmR39 rescues similarly but less efficiently, but sggmR46 does not rescue at all.

Maximal heat shock of animals bearing sgghs.P rescues the sgg1 mutant phenotype. Lower heat shock produces bristle hyperplasia expected of a hypomorphic allele, a phenotype similar to that of Nl1N-ts1 when exposed to the restrictive temperature during early pupal periods.

Shows a maternal-zygotic interaction, demonstrated in males carrying mutant allele from heterozygous mother and variegating allele in the paternally derived Dp(1;4)mg.

With respect to circadian period length, the following alleles can be ranked from longest to shortest: sggEP1576 = sggtwkr/+ = sgg1/sggEP1576 < sggtwkr/sggtwkr < sgg1/sggtwkr.
