    Detailed Description
    Statement
    Reference

    mgrl4/mgr5 neuroblasts from third instar larval brains exhibit circular mitotic figures; spindles may be monopolar or bipolar with abnormal morphology. Their mitotic index and the ratio of metaphase:anaphase figures is elevated some twofold over that of wild type, and they show increased defective and monopolar mitoses. These data indicate a delay in progression through the mitotic cycle. (mgrl4 in combination with an unspecified deficiency results in similar, but more severe, phenotypes.)

    mgrl4/mgr5 animals show pharate lethality with some sterile adults.

    mgrl4/mgr5 testes cells can undergo the premeiotic mitosis. However, meiotic spindles are either absent or highly abnormal in mature (but not young) primary spermatocyte cysts.

    mgrl4/mgr5 larval brain squashes show a slight loss of microtubules.

    Addition of βTub56DT:Avic\GFP to the mgrl4/mgr5 background results in a dramatic loss of microtubules in larval brain squashes.

    Comments

    The pharate lethality associated with mgrl4/mgr1 can be rescued by Scer\GAL4Act.PU-mediated expression of mgrScer\UAS.cDa.
