Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

auxI670K/auxG257E adults exhibit rough eyes, with extra photoreceptor cells and occasional extra bristles on the notum, sternopleurum, and scutellum.

auxI670K/auxG257E mutant males, when mated to wild-type females, do not produce any embryos that hatch. Spermatids do develop in the testis, however the seminal vesicles are empty in adult male flies. The morphology of the testis hub cells appear normal in these animals. A slightly reduced number of germ cells is observed compared to wild-type testes. Cytokinesis is mostly normal in these animals. In 5% of spermatids examined, an enlarged mitochondrial derivative associated with two nuclei is observed. Spermatid individualisation is disrupted in mutants, and migration of the investment cone along spermatid cysts does not occur normally.

Expression of auxFL.βTub85D.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP in auxI670K/auxG257E mutants rescues male sterility. The rough eye and supernumerary bristle phenotypes are not rescued.

Expression of auxΔK.βTub85D.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP in auxI670K/auxG257E mutants rescues male sterility.

Expression of auxCJ.βTub85D.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP in auxI670K/auxG257E mutants rescues male sterility.

Expression of auxΔJ.βTub85D.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP in auxI670K/auxG257E mutants fails to rescue male sterility.

Expression of auxΔC.βTub85D.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP in auxI670K/auxG257E mutants fails to rescue male sterility.
