Position of mutation on reference sequence inferred by FlyBase curator based on author statement. Identical to mei-9A1 and mei-9A3.
Exposure of mei-9A2 mutant larvae to DDVP for 48 hours results in a significant increase in the migration of DNA in midgut cells at 0.15, 1.5 and 15ng/ml concentrations of DDVP as compared to controls.
Homozygous females show a high frequency (approximately 70%) of region 3 cysts with two pro-oocytes (as assayed by c(3)G staining) compared to a frequency of only 9.5% in wild type.
Meiotic crossing over on chromosome 3 is reduced in mutant females compared to wild type.
mei-9A2 mutants have a similar frequency of single-strand annealing repair (SSA) compared to controls in a P{wIw.FRT} hemizygous assay to study DNA double-stranded break repair when assayed at 32oC or 38oC.
Mutant larvae are hypersensitive to UV light compared to wild-type. Mutants are also hypersensitive to methyl methanesulfonate. Mutants show a reduction in crossing over along the 3rd chromosome.
Homozygous females show 37% X chromosome nondisjunction, compared to 0.33% in wild-type females. mei-9A2 shows increased X chromosome nondisjunction compared to the 0.33% seen in wild-type females, when in transheterozygous combination with mei-9a (30%), mei-9b (31%), mei-9D2 (29%), mei-9D4 (24%), mei-9RT3 (22%), mei-9L1 (37%), mei-911 (39%) or mei-912 (23%). mei-9RT1/mei-9A2 females show 2% X chromosome nondisjunction, compared to 0.33% in wild-type females. Homozygous females show a severe decrease in the level of crossing over along the left arm of chromosome 2 compared to wild type. mei-9RT1/mei-9A2 females show a relatively small decrease in the level of crossing over along the left arm of chromosome 2 compared to wild type. mei-9RT1/mei-912 females show a severe decrease in the level of crossing over along the left arm of chromosome 2 compared to wild type. mei-9RT1/mei-9D4 females show a severe decrease in the level of crossing over along the left arm of chromosome 2 compared to wild type. mei-9RT1/mei-9RT3 females show a severe decrease in the level of crossing over along the left arm of chromosome 2 compared to wild type. Homozygous larvae are hypersensitive to ultraviolet light and nitrogen mustard. Larvae carrying mei-9A2 in transheterozygous combination with one of mei-9RT1, mei-9b, mei-911, mei-9D2, mei-9L1, mei-9a or mei-9RT3 are hypersensitive to ultraviolet light and nitrogen mustard. mei-912/mei-9A2 larvae are not hypersensitive to ultraviolet light or nitrogen mustard. mei-9D4/mei-9A2 larvae are hypersensitive to ultraviolet light and show intermediate sensitivity to nitrogen mustard.
mei-9A2 homozygotes a much lower meiotic crossover frequency than wild-type flies. Survival of mei-9A2 homozygous adults exposed to UV, or treated with DNA damaging agents Nitrogen mustard or methyl methanesulfonate, is significantly reduced compared to wild-type. mei-9A2 homozygotes have a X non-disjunction rate of 37%.
Show mitotic instability.
