kelDE1 homozygosity induces very thick F-actin rim in egg chamber ring canals. Eggs laid are significantly smaller than controls.
kelDE1 homozygote mutant females display a ring canal phenotype in the egg chambers (thickening of the F-actin cytoskeleton and significantly smaller lumen diameter) and produce smaller oocytes compared to wild-type.
kelDE1 mutant ring canals in egg chambers display small lumen and F-actin disorganization. The ring canal phenotype first appears at approximately stage 6 of oogenesis. From stage 6 until the end of oogenesis, the growth of the outer diameters of the mutant ring canals is similar to wild-type. However, the inner diameter fail to expand, leaving a small lumen similar in size to ring canals of very young egg chambers.
kelDE1 mutants display multiple defects in oogenesis, including fusion of neighbouring egg chambers in 10-15% of ovarioles, mislocalization of the oocyte, defects in cellular shape and morphology, occasional apoptosis and a lack of stalk cells. The fusomes of kelDE1 nurse cells have greater levels of F-actin than wild type and appear abnormal. Additionally, in 10-15% of kelDE1 oocytes, karyosome morphology is abnormal. The nurse cells of these mutants occasionally show an aberrant accumulation of G-actin in the nuclei. Finally, the microtubule-dependent transport of proteins from the nurse cells to the oocyte appears to be affected.
At stage 9 of oogenesis kelDE1 homozygotes show massive disorganization the nurse cell and oocyte actin cytoskeleton, and partial occlusion of ring canal lumens. Ring canals are also mis-localized, sometimes ending up in the oocyte cytoplasm.
DNA fragmentation occurs in homozygous nurse cells, but is delayed with respect to wild-type.
Homozygous females have disorganised ring canal rims with a reduced lumen.
Actin filaments in the ring canals are disorganised in homozygous females. This phenotype is rescued by kelORF1.otu.T:Hsap\MYC and kelΔNORF1.otu.T:Hsap\MYC but not by kelKREP.otu.T:Hsap\MYC.
Egg chambers defective for early, slow, and late, fast cytoplasm transport into the oocyte. As early as stage 7 of oogenesis oocyte is smaller than wild type. Mutant egg cytoplasm looks rough and irregular. The small oocytes are surrounded by egg shell where dorsal appendages are shorter and fatter than wild type and sometimes fused dorsally. In the most extreme cases the anterior of the egg is open forming a cup shape. The small eggs usually degenerate in the ovary.

Expression of any of the following: kelK414R.K428R.Scer\UAS.P\T, kel6KR.Scer\UAS.P\T, kelScer\UAS.P\T.cHa, kelK0.Scer\UAS.P\T, kelQSTN.Scer\UAS.P\T under the control of either Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 or Scer\GAL4otu.T:Hsim\VP16 rescues the female sterility of kelDE1 mutants.
Expression of either kelScer\UAS.P\T.cHa or kelK0.Scer\UAS.P\T under the control of either Scer\GAL4otu.T:Hsim\VP16 (resulting in a low-level expressing) or Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 (resulting in a high-level expression) fully rescues the nurse cell ring canal (thickening of the F-actin cytoskeleton) and small oocyte phenotypes characteristic for kelDE1 homozygote females.
Expression of kelQSTN.Scer\UAS.P\T under the control of Scer\GAL4otu.T:Hsim\VP16 (resulting in a low-level expressing) fully restores the small oocyte phenotype but only partially rescues the nurse cell ring canal phenotype (thickening of the F-actin cytoskeleton) characteristic for kelDE1 homozygote mutant females, while expression under the Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 driver (resulting in a high-level expression) fully rescues both the ring canal and small oocyte phenotypes.
Expression of kelFE.Scer\UAS.P\T under the control of either Scer\GAL4otu.T:Hsim\VP16 driver (resulting in a low-level expressing) or Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 (resulting in a high-level expression) does not rescue either the nurse cell ring canal phenotype (thickening of the F-actin cytoskeleton) or the small oocyte phenotype characteristic for kelDE1 homozygote females and neither rescues their sterility.
Organization of the actin cytoskeleton and ring canal localization in the oocyte and nurse cells of kelDE1 homozygotes is rescued by kelY627A.otu. However, the morphology of these ring canals (as assessed by actin localization in the canal) is not wild-type: they are significantly narrower than in wild-type, and have a much more concave rim.
The sterility of homozygous females is rescued by kelotu.PR, kelORF1.otu.T:Hsap\MYC and kelORF1.otu, but not by kelAla.otu, kelΔUGA.otu or kelSer.otu. The ring canal phenotype is largely rescued by kelotu.PR, kelORF1.otu.T:Hsap\MYC and kelORF1.otu, is partially rescued by kelAla.otu, and is not rescued by kelΔUGA.otu or kelSer.otu. Hemizygous kelDE1 flies carrying kelORF1.otu produce eggs at nearly wild-type rates, which is significantly higher than the rate of egg production of hemizygous kelDE1 flies that do not carry kelORF1.otu. 91.5% of the eggs laid by hemizygous kelDE1 flies carrying kelORF1.otu survive to hatching.
