Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Stage 13-14 embryos hemizygous for fzrie28 display increased myoblast proliferation and cell numbers, likely accounted for by an increased number of fusion competent cells (FCMs); and significantly reduced actin focus size together with absent or very small fusion pores at fusion sites between FCMs and the growing muscle, but no difference in the number of actin foci per hemisegment compared to wild-type controls. A defect in myoblast fusion starting at the second fusion wave (following muscle precursor formation) becomes evident at stages 16-17 manifesting as small muscles and an excess of mono-nucleated myoblasts. Alongside, stage 16-17 embryos show an altered heart morphology, with misaligned, crowded and supernumerary pericardial cells and heart cardioblasts. There are no defects in cell determination, differentiation, migration, recognition or adhesion in somatic muscles or the heart.

Peripheral glia fail to initiate their migration in mutant embryos and accumulate at the central nervous system-peripheral nervous system transition zone. The number of glial cells per hemisegment is increased in the mutant embryos compared to controls.

The epidermis of rapie28 embryos shows an extra mitotic division cycle, so that the cells go through 17 rounds of division instead of 16.

Mutant embryos undergo an extra cell division (mitosis 17). This extra division appears normal.

fzrie28/+ ; mr2/+ and fzrie28/+ ; lmgA03424/+ embryos at stages 16-17 show disrupted myoblast fusion but an overall wild-type muscle morphology, while myoblast fusion is completely abolished in fzrie28/+ ; mr2/mr2 and fzrie28/+ ; lmgA03424/lmgA03424 embryos.

The number of glial cells in rapie28 CycAC8LR1 double mutant embryos is the same as in wild-type embryos, but they fail to migrate.

The glial cell migration defects of rapie28 embryos are significantly suppressed by Fas2EB112 (54.7% of hemisegments show normal migration, 27.9% of hemisegments show partial migration). However, the increase in glial cell number and the axonal defects seen in rapie28 embryos is not suppressed by Fas2EB112.

The glial cell migration defects of rapie28 embryos are not suppressed by Nrgl4.

The epidermis of rapie28; CycAC8LR1 double mutant embryos shows an extra mitotic division cycle as with CycAC8LR1 single mutant embryos. This is in contrast to CycAC8LR1 single mutant embryos, where the 16th mitotic division does not occur. In addition to the extra round of mitosis, rapie28; CycAC8LR1 double mutant embryonic epidermal cells show abnormal anaphase and telophase figures with chromatin bridges.

Comments

Expression of rapScer\UAS.cSa under the control of either Scer\GAL4gcm.PU or Scer\GAL4repo.PU fails to rescue the increase in glial cell number and glial cell migration defects seen in rapie28 embryos.

Expression of rapScer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 does not rescue the increase in glial cell number seen in rapie28 embryos, but the glial cell migration defect is completely rescued in 49.6% of hemisegments and is partially rescued in 25.9% of hemisegments. The axonal growth defects seen in the central and peripheral nervous systems are also rescued.

Expression of rapScer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu almost completely rescues both the glial cell migration defects (71.5% complete rescue, 19% partial rescue) and increase in glial cell number seen in rapie28 embryos. The axonal growth defects seen in the central and peripheral nervous systems are also rescued.
