Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Late prometaphase I homozygous oocytes show mispositioning of chromosome 4.

Spindle organisation in noda/nod4 oocytes is generally normal, although asymmetrical spindles or normal spindles with spurs associated with one pole are occasionally seen. The X chromosomes rarely exchange in these oocytes. Spindle orientation of nonexchange chromosomes in noda/nod4 oocytes is highly variable and always abnormal, and the nonexchange chromosomes may be found free in the cytoplasm, or with both homologs present on the same half spindle. The free nonexchange chromosomes are often associated with spindle-like microtubule bundles. Single nonexchange chromosomes that are associated with a half-spindle are always positioned at the pole, not at the wild-type position between the plate and the pole. When more than one nonexchange chromosome is associated with a single half-spindle, one chromosome is always at the pole, but the other is positioned away from the pole, towards the metaphase plate. Homozygous nod4 females have similar oocyte defects as noda/nod4 females, except that the X chromosomes recombine at normal frequencies in homozygous nod4 oocytes, and free X chromosomes are seen at a much lower frequency.

High levels of X and fourth chromosome nondisjunction. Hemizygotes exhibit a strong nod phenotype.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

In(1)FM7 nod4/noda females show high levels of X and 4th chromosome nondisjunction (53.2% and 78.9% respectively) compared to control In(1)FM7 nod+ females. The majority of apparent 4th chromosome nondisjunction events result from loss of the 4th chromosome.

Ova from nebTE8/+ (or nebTE12/+ or nebTE20/+) nod2/+ (or nod3/+ or nod4/+) transheterozygous females show a higher rate of 4th chromosome nondisjunction (up to 21%) than females heterozygous for either mutation alone. Transheterozygotes with nebTE2 are sterile.

ncd1 nod4 heterozygous females show an increased level of X and fourth chromosome nondisjunction.
