Homozygous Mbs03802 flies expressing Mbshs.PT at the start of embryogenesis (to rescue lethality) are fertile. Depletion of Mbshs.PT results in the formation of small ring canals at stage 10 but has no effect on the number of mitotic divisions or on the morphology of the fusome network. In contrast, the scra-stained nascent ring canals in the homozygous mutants are significantly smaller than the corresponding rings in the heterozygous flies at cyst stage IV-f, prior to ring canal growth.

Homozygous Mbs03802, transheterozygous Mbs03802/MbsT541 and Mbs03802/MbsT666 mutants exhibit small ring canals. The ring canals in homozygous mutants continue constricting after their final division.

Homozygous Mbs03802 germ-line clones exhibit a failure in nurse cell cytoplasm transport that leads to nurse cell dumping. Fast phase nurse cell cytoplasm transport is blocked in these mutants. Egg chambers with homozygous Mbs03802 somatic follicle cells develop normally. Centriole transport is disrupted in Mbs03802 homozygous germ-line clones. Most of the centrioles fail to migrate into the oocyte. Instead, they appear to accumulate at the nurse cell ring canals, on the nurse cell side, with no clusters detected within oocytes.

Homozygotes for Mbs03802 are lethal during early larval stages.

Cells within Mbs3 mutant clones in wing discs lose their columnar morphology and seem to retract basally.

44% of Mbs03802 homozygotes die as embryos, and the remainder as 1st instar larvae. Over 80% of the dead mutant embryos have a dorsal hole in their cuticle, indicative of failure of dorsal closure. An even larger hole is seen in the cuticles of Mbs03802/Df(3L)th102 embryos. Mbs03802 mutant embryos show occasional disruption of cell shape and elongation in leading edge cells towards the end of dorsal closure. Mbs03802 germ-line mutant eggs are rare and are approximately 1/4 the size of wild-type eggs. In Mbs03802 germ-line mutant egg chambers, dumping of nurse cell cytoplasm into the oocyte fails to occur properly. This is probably caused by defective growth of ring canals, which throughout oogenesis remain approximately the size of ring canals in wild-type stage 2 egg chambers.

Germline clones produce abnormal eggs due to abnormal oogenesis: few eggs are laid and they are tiny.

Additional Comments

Statement
Reference

Mbs03802/+ enhances the severity of the small ring canal phenotype seen in homozygous flwXE55A germline clones. In addition, the eggs produced by the mutant females are further reduced in size compared to females carrying homozygous flwXE55A germline clones in a wild-type background.

The small, rough eye phenotype of Rac1GMR.PN flies is enhanced by heterozygosity for Mbs03802. The rough eye phenotype of Rho1GMR.PH flies is mildly enhanced by Mbs03802/+ (fewer bristles are formed). The rough eye phenotype of Cdc42GMR.PN flies in unaffected by heterozygosity for Mbs03802.

Excision of the P{EP} element can revert the lethal phenotype. Strength of phenotype: Mbs3 = Mbs03802 > MbsP2r31 > MbsEP3727.
