grp06034 embryos exhibit shortened division cycles 11-13, as compared to controls.

grp06034 third instar larval brains exhibit a similar frequency of cells with chromosome aberrations and no telomeric fusions compared to controls.

Cell cycle times are reduced in grp06034 embryos, though chromatin remains dispersed until the close of interphase, similar to wild type.

21.4% of embryos derived from grp06034/Df(2L)H20 females and 17.1% of embryos derived from homozygous grp06034 females arrest in precortical cycles with acentrosomal, barrel-shaped spindles.

grp06034 white pupae are more sensitive to X rays than control white pupae. Treatment of irradiated grp06034 larvae with 1.3 μM colchicine significantly decreases their survival (in contrast to irradiated wild-type larvae, where colchicine treatment has little effect on survival). Starvation on a sucrose diet reduces the survival of irradiated mutant larvae.

Mutant eyes (generated using the "EGUF" system) do not display morphological defects when larvae are raised on media containing 2 mmol caffeine/L and 3 mmol hydroxyurea/L.

grp06034 flies develop normally and males are fertile.

grp06034 embryos display monopolar spindles, the inability to form a central spindle in mitosis of cycle 12 and 13, and the failure to fully separate centrosomes during interphase.

Mutants exhibit a robust cell death response to irradiation. Mutants are able to sustain cell proliferation in an organised manner after irradiation. Mutants exposed to 2000R of X-rays delay pupariation with wild-type kinetics.

Interphase duration after cycle 10 in grp06034 embryos extends, but less dramatically than in wild-type embryos.

Mutant has no effect on radiation-induced cell death.

The timing of nuclear envelope formation (NEF) to nuclear envelope breakdown (NEB) is disrupted in cycle 11 and 12 grp06034-derived embryos, but the timing of NEB to anaphase initiation (IA) is normal. During cycle 13, the interval between NEF and NEB is 7.3 minutes in grp06034-derived embryos (compared to 15.1 minutes in wild-type embryos), the interval between NEB and spindle assembly is not altered, but there is an extensive metaphase delay (the interval between NEB and IA). The chromosomes are not properly condensed at both NEB and metaphase in grp06034-derived embryos, although the timing of the initiation of chromosome condensation is normal. The defects in chromosome condensation are most evident during nuclear cycles 12 and 13.

In grp06034 embryos, there is an increase in Mitotic index (the proportion of embryos in M Phase) and in the ratio of M phase embryos with unsegregated chromosomes (prophase/metaphase) to those with segregated chromosomes (anaphase/telophase).

During somatic cycles 10-13, interphase lengthens progressively. In mutants mitosis 10-13 occurs prematurely. Asynchrony in polar divisions, both among pole nuclei and with respect to somatic divisions still occurs in these embryos.

X-irradiation of wild type embryos phenocopies grp06034 mutants: sister telophase nuclei snap back and fuse. Embryos also exhibit a dramatic increase in DNA lesions that may be a consequence of grp-derived embryos progressing through mitosis with damaged or incompletely replicated DNA. Alignment of chromosomes on the metaphase plate is disrupted in cycle 11, 12 and 13 embryos.

Mutant embryos fail to undergo changes in cell-cycle timing and embryo morphology associated with the midblastula transition (MBT). Interphase length does not increase significantly during divisions 11-13, mitosis 13 is immediately followed by at least two additional syncytial cycles of spindle assembly/disassembly and nuclear envelope breakdown/assembly.

Embryos from homozygous mothers successfully complete nuclear migration, but undergo abnormal cortical nuclear divisions and do not cellularize.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

Injection of geminin into grp06034 embryos results in chromatin condensation behaviour (i.e. very early condensation of chromatin after S phase deletion) and interphase duration indistinguishable from geminin injection into wild type embryos. However, the mitotic delay observed after injection of geminin into grp06034 embryos is almost twice that caused by geminin injection into wild type embryos.

grp06034; mei-4129D flies develop normally and males are fertile. grp06034 fails to enhance the chromosome fusion phenotype seen in the nuclei of third instar larval neuroblasts of mre11unspecified.

A single copy of CycAhs.PK is sufficient to cause homozygous lethality in grp06034 embryos, even without heatshock. A reduction in the dose of CycA fails to suppress the grp06034 allele.

Revertant analysis confirmed that maternal effect is caused by the P element. Same phenotype observed in embryos derived from homozygous or hemizygous females.
