Deletion that removes the entire Pfdn2 open reading frame.
Pfdn2Δ10 third instar larvae show ectopic neuroblasts in third instar larval brains and an increase in the number of cells in S-phase (assessed by EdU labelling). They also display defects in asymmetric protein segregation in neuroblasts during both metaphase and telophase.
Pfdn2Δ10/Pfdn2Δ10 neuroblast (both type I and type II lineages) somatic MARCM clones generate excess neuroblast cells.
Pfdn2Δ10 third instar larval brain neuroblasts often contain irregular number of centrosomes during mitosis (either more than two or just one - leading to monopolar mitotic spindle) and majority of them fail to assemble astral microtubules during metaphase. Pfdn2Δ10 larvae also display impaired spindle microtubule regrowth after cold-induced depolarization compared to wild-type.
Pfdn2Δ10/Pfdn201239 transheterozygotes display increased average number of brain neuroblasts compared to wild-type.

The microtubule and centrosomal abnormalities (irregular number of centrosomes and spindle defects, including loss of astral microtubules) observed in brain neuroblasts in Pfdn2Δ10 single mutant and mgrG5308/Df(3R)Exel6160 third instar larvae are exacerbated further in Pfdn2Δ10,mgrG5308 double mutants.
The increased average number of brain neuroblasts (compared to wild-type) seen in Pfdn2Δ10 mutant third instar larvae is strongly enhanced by combination with pinsP89 although pinsP89 mutants on their own display decreased number of brain neuroblasts compared to wild-type. The defects in asymmetric protein segregation and mitotic spindle structure in neuroblasts observed both in Pfdn2Δ10 and pinsP89 single mutants are strongly enhanced in Pfdn2Δ10;pinsP89 double mutants: all neuroblasts show impaired asymmetric protein segregation and divide symmetrically. Symmetric division is observed also in intermediate neural progenitor cells in the double mutants - a phenotype not detected in either of the single mutants.
The dramatically increased total average number of brain neuroblast in third instar larvae characteristic for Pfdn2Δ10;pinsP89 double mutants can be partially rescued by expression of pinsScer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4erm.PU in the double mutant background.
The dramatically increased average number of brain neuroblasts characteristic for Pfdn2Δ10/Pfdn201239 transheterozygote third instar larvae is partially restored by expression of aPKCGD1366 under the control of Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407 in the mutant background.

The increased number of brain neuroblast as well as the asymmetric protein segregation defects (observed both during metaphase and telophase) characteristic for Pfdn2Δ10;pinsP89 double mutants are partially rescued by expression of αTub84BUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-S65C in the double mutant background.
