The rux3 allele carries a frameshift mutation that encodes a protein with 21 out of frame amino acids after aa 320.
The exact nature and location of the mutation were inferred by the FlyBase curator. The mutation is reported as a frameshift mutation that encodes a truncated rux protein with 21 novel amino acids after amino acid 320 but the exact nature of the frameshift mutation was not specified. The mutation was annotated as a 19 bp deletion starting at amino acid 321, which would produce a protein consistent with the reported product.
The spatiotemporal pattern of mitotic domains is disrupted during Mitosis 14 of the developing embryo. Metaphase is on average 79% longer in mutants than in wild-type embryos. The other stages of mitosis are not significantly altered in mutant embryos.
Homozygotes exhibit a rough eye phenotype. All cells enter S phase and do so earlier than wild type, some cells establish a G1 phase, albeit shorter in length.
Eyes are rough, viability reduced to 50% with respect to wild type.

rux3 is an enhancer of mitotic cell cycle phenotype of CycAUAS.Δ170, Scer\GAL4prd.RG1
The addition of rux3, prolongs the metaphase arrest phenotype seen in CycAScer\UAS.Δ170,Scer\GAL4prd.RG1 embryos.
Mutant eye phenotype of rux3 is dominantly enhanced by Ras85De2F and Ras85De1B, ast1 and S1. Removing a copy of Sos or rl has no effect on the severity of the rux3 mutant phenotype. 81% of ommatidia of rux3 are restored to wild type by CycA3 or CycA5. 36% of ommatidia of rux3 are restored to wild type by stgRXT13 or stgAR2.
Weak rux allele.
