Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

The few wakeΔ mutant escapers that are seen display severe locomotion defects and die within hours of eclosion. Defects are seen in the establishment of polarity in mitotic sensory organ precursor (SOP) cells prior to anaphase, but many of these defects are corrected in later mitosis. Spindle positioning is also disrupted.

A strong loss of neuroblasts is seen in homozygous wakeΔ mutant larval brains compared to heterozygous controls. The number of neurons is not affected. The number of optic lobe neuroblasts is unaffected and the overall structure of the brain is normal, although homozygous wakeΔ mutant brains are slightly smaller on average. The remaining neuroblasts are smaller than in wild type. Defects are seen in polarity establishment in mitotic cells prior to anaphase, but many of these defects are corrected in later mitosis.

Expression of wake+tCH322-118J18 rescues the neuroblast loss seen in the brains of wakeΔ mutant larvae.

Expression of wakeScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP in all neuroblasts under the control of Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407 rescues the neuroblast loss seen in the brains of wakeΔ mutant larvae.
