Imprecise excision of P{EPgy2}flflEY03585, located approximately 1kb upstream of the flfl translational start site generates a deletion extending into the flfl coding region, deleting the first 1075 base pairs of the coding sequence.
Deletion caused by imprecise excision of P{EPgy2}flflEY03585 extending from the insertion site and removing 1075 bases of the flfl coding sequence.
Compared with wild-type, BrdU incorporation in flflN42 hemizygous brains is drastically reduced at 96 hours after larval hatching. In comparison with wild-type larvae, whch pupate between 96 an 120 hours after larval hatching and have ~120 central brain neuroblasts per brain lobe at 96 hours, flflN42 larvae fail to pupate, but can survive for up to 8 hours after larval hatching. Even after their extended larval phase, the number of central brain neuroblasts per brain lobe of flflN42 larvae only reaches approximately 80 and analysis of the mushroom body lineage progeny size reveals a cell-autonomous contribution of flfl towards proliferation. flflN42 larval brains have a higher proportion of neuroblasts that are phospho-histone-H3 positive, of which the majority show nuclear enrichment of mira and pros, suggesting the reduced proliferation could result from a block or delay at prophase.
