Heterozygosity for jubE1 has little effect on wing size.

jubE1 mutants survive to early pupal stages, even when the maternal contribution is removed by generating germline clones. jubE1 mutant clones within otherwise wild-type imaginal discs grow poorly and delaminate from the epithelia. However, cell-cell adhesion appears fine and there are no polarity defects, as reflected by the normal distribution of shg.

Mitotic cells in the brains of jubE1 homozygous mutant larvae exhibit a range of defects: 10% lack detectable centrosomes, 30% have a single centrosome, 20% have two centrosomes that are unusually close to each other and mis-position at the cell centre, while the remaining 40% are wild-type. In 17% of jubE1 mutant neuroblasts the distance between centrosomes in well-established bipolar spindles is very small, which is never the case in wild-type.

jubE1 mutant neuroblasts exhibit mitotic spindle defects, even in neuroblasts with two well-separated centrosomes. These include bipolar anastral spindles and completely disorganised spindles, which appear to be nucleated byt the chromatin pathway.

Approximately 11% of jubE1 mutant neuroblasts exhibit abnormal spindle orientation. However, quantification of neuroblast numbers suggests that the defects in spindle positioning and cortical targeting of cell-fate determinants are corrected as the cells exit mitosis.

One copy of jubE1 enhances the reduction in wing size seen in flies expressing RokVDRC.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4nub-AC-62.

One copy of jubE1 slightly suppresses the increase in wing size seen in flies expressing RokCAT.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4nub-AC-62.

jubE1 mutant neuroblasts expressing aurUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP exhibit mitotic spindle defects, with the proportion of disorganised spindles higher (61%) than that in jubE1 or aurUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP mutants alone. Mitosis in these double mutants is highly perturbed, as revealed by an increased mitotic index. These cells show severe mitotic abnormalities, such as aneuploidy, polyploidy and anaphases with lagging chromosomes. These more severe defects are not present in jubE1 mutants, where the mitotic index is not significantly different from that of wild-type.

The percentage of abnormal spindles in jubE1 mutants is suppressed by removing one copy of aur because in jubE1, aur87Ac-3 double mutant cells the total number of spindle defects is decreased from 45% to 34%.

The generation of supernumerary centrosomes in SAKUbi.T:Avic\GFP mutant neuroblasts is not suppressed by a jubE1 background.
