lethal (with Df(3R)ED5147)
Mms19EY00797 mutant larvae develop slowly but reach third instar stage, however the third instar larvae have noticeably smaller brains than wild-type, completely lack recognizable imaginal discs and fail to pupate.
24.5% of embryos from mothers carrying Mms19EY00797 mutant germline clones (created using the OvoD technique) hatch into larvae if fertilized by Mms19+/+ fathers and 10.5% if fertilized by Mms19EY00797/+ fathers. Majority of the embryos display various cell cycle defects: spindle defects, kinked axis of division, many missing nuclei, elongated spindle in metaphase, chromosome segregation defects, and centrosomal defects in division cycle 10-13.
Embryos from Mms19EY00797 mutant mothers also carrying Mms19EGFP (to rescue the maternal effect cell cycle defects) and expressing Zzzz\vhhGFP4deGradFP.hb.bcd3'UTR to knock-down the rescue Mms19EY00797 transgene during embryogenesis only, leads to various and abundant cell cycle defects: Improper chromosome segregation and chromosomal bridges in anaphase and telophase, significantly elongated spindle in metaphase, spindle crossovers, multipolar spindles, kinked axis of division and loss of nuclei in one or more large areas.
Mms19EY00797 has abnormal mitotic cell cycle | maternal effect | embryonic stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by Xpdunspecified/Xpd[+]
Mms19EY00797 has mitotic spindle | maternal effect | embryonic stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by Xpdunspecified/Xpd[+]
Mms19EY00797 has centrosome | maternal effect | embryonic stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by Xpdunspecified/Xpd[+]
Mms19EY00797 has imaginal disc | third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by Mat1UAS.cNa/CycHUAS.cNa/Scer\GAL4da.G32/Cdk7UAS.cNa
The various maternal effect cell cycle defects observed in early embryos from from mothers carrying Mms19EY00797 mutant germline clones (created using the OvoD technique) are partially suppressed by combination with a single copy of Xpdunspecified loss-of-function or a deficiency covering the Xpd locus (apart from the chromosome segregation defects, the frequency of which is actually increased).
The complete loss of imaginal discs characteristic for Mms19EY00797 mutant third instar larvae can be rescued by simultaneous expression of Cdk7UAS.cNa, Mat1UAS.cNa and CycHUAS.cNa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 in the mutant background, but the overall structure of the discs is visibly abnormal.
Mms19EY00797/Df(3R)ED5147 is rescued by Mms19EGFP
Combination with one or two copies of Mms19EGFP rescues the lethality of Mms19EY00797/Df(3R)ED5147 mutants. Expression of Mms19EGFP in Mms19EY00797 germline mutant females (created using the OvoD technique) at least partially rescues all of the various cell cycle defects (spindle defects, kinked axis of division, many missing nuclei, elongated spindle in metaphase, chromosome segregation defects, and centrosomal defects) observed in their progeny at embryonic division cycle 10-13.
