Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Mutant 3rd instar larval brains have a mitotic phenotype; 39.4% of anaphases are abnormal (showing lagging chromatids, chromatin bridges and nondisjunction) in untreated brains. Colchicine-treated mutant brains show 38.2% premature sister chromatid separation (compared to 0.96% in wild type) and have a mitotic index of 0.66 (compared to 2.44 in wild-type treated brains).

The mitotic index of mutant larval brains is 0.9, compared to 1.02 in wild-type brains. Mutant brains incubated with colchicine do not show an increase in mitotic index, even after 1 hour of drug treatment, in contrast to wild-type brains, which show a doubling of the mitotic index in this time. Mutant larval brain neuroblasts treated with colchicine often do not arrest in prometaphase (which occurs in wild-type neuroblasts in response to colchicine), but instead enter an anaphase-like state with separated sister chromatids.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

Abnormal anaphases and premature sister chromatid separation occur at the same frequency in mit(1)1516 rodX-5 double mutants as in either single mutant alone. There is no additive effect; the range of defects is quantitatively and qualitatively comparable with that for either single mutant.

The mitotic index in aspE3 rodX-5 double mutants is reduced compared to aspE3 single mutants, there is no metaphase arrest and anaphase figures can be seen.
