    ensHP36480 mutants exhibit small brain lobes and a higher mitotic index than in wild-type, suggesting a mitotic delay due to prolonged spindle assembly checkpoint activation.

    ensHP36480 mutant neuroblast spindles are not fully separated at prophase, and metaphase spindle are shorter than in wild-type. In addition, the time between nuclear envelope breakdown and anaphase onset is longer in ensHP36480 mutants than in wild-type. Mean spindle length is shorter in ensHP36480 mutants than in wild-type.

    Centrosome splitting after cytokinesis is normal in ensHP36480 mutant neuroblasts, however separation is incomplete. There is no monopolar spindle formation, suggesting that the machinery required to separate centrosomes at nuclear envelope breakdown is functional.

    Approximately 14% of ensHP36480 mutants display incomplete centrosome separation and severe mis-positioning.

    ensHP36480 mutant neuroblasts, subjected to cold treatment (which leads to microtubule depolymerisation), display weak aster formation around the chromosomes and no obvious Kt fibers after 30 seconds at 25[o]C. After 90 seconds, only short spindles with weak, disorganised microtubule arrays are present. Bipolar spindle assembly occurs within 3 minutes in flies lacking ensHP36480, as in wild-type.

    The mean rate of microtubule polymerisation is significantly lower in ensHP36480 mutants than in wild-type neuroblasts.

    ensHP36480 fails to complement the myonuclear positioning defect of ensswo.

    In ensHP36480,Sas-4s2214 double mutants, mitosis lasts for approximately 10 minutes (longer than in the Sas-4s2214 single mutant) and the distribution of microtubules is more strongly affected than in the single mutant. The spindles are much shorter than in either single mutant. After cold treatment, which depolymerises microtubules, ensHP36480,Sas-4s2214 double mutants exhibit compromised microtubule regrowth, as in ensHP36480 single mutants. Bipolar spindle assembly is severely compromised in these double mutants.
