Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

In squashed testis preparations, spermatocytes as well as elongated spermatid bundles are present n young pex13KG04339 mutants. At the onion stage, most round spermatids are abnormal. Spermatids usually have four nuclei and one large mitochondrial derivative, indicative of a cytokinesis defect. This phenotype progressively worsened with age. In older mutant animals, 'cotton ball'-like spheres are also present.

Growing pex13KG04339 mutants on medium to which 2.5% VLCFA has been added results in a significant enhancement of the pex107 testis phenotype compared to pex107 flies grown on non-supplemented food. The elongated spermatid bundles that are usually present under normal food conditions disappear, replaced with 'cotton ball'-like structures. In contrast, adding 2.5% LCFA to the food does not enhance the testis phenotype.

Overexpression of Sc2EY02236 under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.PG enhances the pex13KG04339 cytokinesis defect.

Sc205634/Sc2EY02236 transheterozygotes partially suppress the pex13KG04339 cytokinesis defect.
