FlyBase curator comment: this entry is used to capture phenotypic information when the particular allele (or allele combination) used by the author could not be determined but the context of the experiment suggests that the phenotype being described is some kind of loss of function.
Mutant neuroblasts show delays in prometaphase and metaphase as well as an increased overall cell cycle length. The mitotic index is also increased.
There is a large increase in the number of S-phase cells in mutant larval brains compared to wild-type brains.
Embryos derived from aurunspecified mutant females appear abnormal from nuclear cycle 9 onwards, with multiple spindles assembling in long arrays with shared centrosomes, and polyploid nuclei developing with multiple centrosomes.
aurAunspecified is rescued by Scer\GAL4wor.PA/aurAUAS.L.GFP
