Detailed Description

Reference

soloZ2-0198/Df(2L)A267 females show 55.1% X chromosome nondisjunction. Crossing over on the X chromosome is substantially and uniformly reduced in three euchromatic intervals and more moderately reduced in the interval encompassing the X centromere. Sister chromatid exchange on the X chromosome is increased compared to controls.

solo7/soloZ2-0198 females show chromosome 2 nondisjunction.

soloZ2-0198/Df(2L)A267 males show a high frequency (56.4%) of sex chromosome nondisjunction in meiosis. Mutant spermatocytes show a more complex meiosis I chromatid segregation pattern than in wild type. Meiosis II is visibly abnormal in the mutant spermatocytes; more than 90% of spermatocytes in meiosis II have DNA masses that are both smaller and more numerous than in wild-type males (indicative of precocious sister chromatid separation), chromosome segregation at anaphase II is disorganised (approximately 38% of anaphase II nuclei have lagging chromosomes) and meiosis II poles show clearly unequal amounts of DNA in 88% of nuclei (indicating high levels of meiosis II nondisjunction).

soloZ2-3534/soloZ2-0198 males show a high frequency (54.1%) of sex chromosome nondisjunction in meiosis.

Statement
Reference

Crossover frequency in the X euchromatin (pn-f interval) is reduced 65-fold in soloZ2-3534 ordZ5736/soloZ2-0198 ord5 females compared to doubly heterozygous sibling controls. This reduction is intermediate in value between those of ord or solo single mutants.

Comments

The chromosome nondisjunction phenotype seen in soloZ2-0198/Df(2L)A267 females is fully rescued by expression of either soloN.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus, soloC.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus or soloScer\UAS.P\T.T:Zzzz\FLAG,T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16.

The chromosome nondisjunction phenotype seen in soloZ2-0198/Df(2L)A267 females is partially rescued by soloT:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus.

Expression of vasT:Avic\GFP in soloZ2-0198/Df(2L)A267 females substantially improves the number of germ cell cysts and nearly doubles fertility (number of progeny/female), indicating that these phenotypes are not due to loss of solo function, but are instead due to an as yet unexplained inhibitory effect of the soloZ2-0198 allele on the expression of vas.
