BubR1KEN.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP,BubR1k06109 mutant larval brains (third instar) do not show any growth defects and have normal number of neuroblast as well as the mitotic index, the rate of aneu- or polyploid brain cells is however increased compared to controls.

Mutant mitotic cells have aberrant spindles that are very short and only thinly populated by microtubules.

Homozygous and BubR1D1326N/BubR1Rev1 females show elevated frequencies of exchange in the pericentromeric heterochromatin of the X chromosome.

Homozygous Bub1k06109 mutants and Bub1k06109/Bub1Rev1 mutant neuroblasts exhibit a significant decrease in prophase-metaphase mitotic figures and a significant increase in sister chromatid separation.

Homozygous BubR1k06109 mutants and BubR1k06109/BubR1Rev1 mutant neuroblasts exhibit a significant decrease in prophase-metaphase mitotic figures and a significant increase in sister chromatid separation.

Homozygous lethality occurs mainly during the pupal stages, with most homozygotes surviving through the third larval instar stage. No mitotic abnormalities are seen in post-cellularisation homozygous embryos. The percentage of homozygous mitotic cells with separated sister chromatids is much higher, and the percentage of mitotic cells in prophase or prometaphase is much lower in homozygous third larval instar brains than in wild type. There is a reduction in mitotic index. A significant number of anaphase figures in homozygous brains are aberrant, with three major kinds of abnormalities being seen at high frequency; firstly, chromosome bridges extend between the two separating groups of chromosomes in many anaphases, secondly, lagging chromatids remain behind at the position of the metaphase plate while other chromosomes have migrated to positions near the poles and thirdly, extensive chromosome fragmentation is seen in many anaphases. Mitotic cells in homozygous brains undergo vastly elevated levels of apoptosis compared to wild type.

The increased neuroblast number and mitotic index seen in aurA8839/aurA17961 transheterozygote larvae is not enhanced by combination with BubR1KEN.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP,BubR1k06109 (the mitotic index in the double mutants is even slightly decreased), whereas the rate of ploidy defects is increased compared to either of the single gene mutants.

The increased brain neuroblast (NB) number observed in Sas-4s2214 mutant third instar larvae is fully suppressed by combination with BubR1KEN.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP,BubR1k06109 (the NB number in the double mutants is even lower than in wild-type controls and the brains are also smaller), while the rate of ploidy defects is strongly increased compared to either of the single gene mutants.

Cells in poloS132408 BubR1k06109 double mutant larval brains have a mitotic index of 3.7, comparable to the wild-type value of 3.3 (poloS132408 single mutants have a mitotic index of 25.0). The spindles still show the characteristic polo mutant defects at the poles (which are anastral). Sister chromatids already separated at metaphase and lagging chromatids at anaphase are seen (similar to those seen in BubR1 single mutants). 49.2% of mitotic figures are aneuploid or polyploid.

After six generations of outcrossing the lethality continued to segragate with the P{lacW} insertion.

The P{lacW} insertions in BubR1k03113 and BubR1k06109 are at the same location within the BubR1 gene.

Precise excision of the P{lacW} insertion in BubR1k06109 results in complete reversion of the lethality and associated mitotic defects seen in BubR1k06109 homozygotes.
