Excision of P{EPgy2}Sep2EY05856 resulting in deletion of the 5' half of Sep2, corresponding to Release 5 coordinates 3R:16412954..16414040 .
1087 bp deleiton resulting from the imprecise excision of P{EPgy2}Septin2EY05856 (removes 3R:16412954..16414040 in R5 coordinates).
Homozygous adults lay eggs with a shorter anterior-posterior axis than wild type.
Sibling crosses between homozygotes either produce no eggs, or eggs that don't hatch. Crosses between homozygous females and wild type males result in a few viable eggs, but eggs are not produced or don't hatch in the majority of cases. Crosses between homozygous males and wild type females result in a viable eggs in 50% of cases, and unhatched eggs in the other 50%.
About half of Sep21/Sep22 transheterozygotes die as pharates.
Only 53% of Sep21 egg chambers have the wild type number of nurse cell nuclei (15); the remaining chambers have either more or fewer, ranging from 3 to 57.
Septin21 has abnormal cell cycle phenotype, non-suppressible by Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI/Septin5UASp.cOa
Septin22/Septin21, Septin52/Septin51 has lethal - all die during prepupal stage phenotype
Septin21, Septin52 has abnormal cell cycle | larval stage phenotype
Septin21 has nurse cell phenotype, non-suppressible by Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI/Septin5UASp.cOa
Septin22/Septin21, Septin52/Septin51 has imaginal disc | third instar larval stage phenotype
Septin21, Septin52 has neuroblast | larval stage phenotype
Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI-mediated expression of Sep5Scer\UAS.P\T.cOa only provides a weak rescue of the abnormal nurse cell number of Sep21 egg chambers in some cases.
Sep21/Sep22, Sep51/Sep52 animals arrest as prepupae. Wandering third instars of this genotype completely lack imaginal discs.
A low percentage of Sep52, Sep21 larval neuroblasts have tetraploid nuclei, compared to 0% in wild type.
Septin21 is rescued by Septin2UASp.cOa/Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI
Septin21 is partially rescued by Septin2UASp.cOa/Scer\GAL4VP16.mat.αTub67C
Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI-mediated expression of Sep2Scer\UAS.P\T.cOa rescues the abnormal nurse cell number seen in Sep21 egg chambers.
Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16-mediated expression of Sep2Scer\UAS.P\T.cOa partially rescues the abnormal nurse cell number seen in Sep21 egg chambers.
