dhdJ5 homozygous and dhdJ5/Df(1)JC70 transheterozygous females are sterile, as all eggs fail to hatch. After fertilization of dhdJ5-homozygous female-derived eggs, the male pronucleus chromatin fails to decondense (i.e. maintains a needle-shape), remains connected to the acrosome and, although still keeping the sperm aster in its vicinity, the release of the paternal centrioles is delayed, as compared to controls; the male pronucleus does not participate in development (i.e. does not replicate), leading to an effectively haploid syncytial embryo. The female pronucleus often fails to migrate towards the male pronucleus.

dhdJ5/Df(1)JC70 transheterozygous are also female sterile; after fertilization of their eggs, the male pronucleus chromatin fails to decondense (i.e. maintains a needle-shape).

gnu305, plu3 and png5 homozygous females lay eggs with a 'giant nuclei' phenotype due to premature initiation of DNA synthesis, dhdJ5 cannot suppress the 'giant nuclei' phenotype in double mutants.

Eggs from mutant mothers fail to complete meiosis. In 90% of embryos there is no sign of development and no evidence of a female pronucleus. Normal polar body structures are only rarely observed. Most common phenotype is that eggs contain a structure that resembles a nucleus arrested in anaphase. In the 10% of embryos that initiate development, there are defects in preblastoderm nuclear divisions. Divisions are not synchronous. Not all nuclei migrate to the periphery. 5% of embryos develop far enough to secret cuticle. Head involution fails during gastrulation. In embryos where head involution is partial, the most prominent defects are shortening of the lateralgraten and fusion of the ventral arms of the cephalopharyngeal skeleton.

Statement
Reference

The female sterility of dhdJ5 homozygotes is not rescued by fertilization with Df(2L)ΔMst35B homozygous sperm. The male pronucleus chromatin defects observed upon fertilization of dhdJ5 homozygous-derived eggs is partially suppressed by fertilization with Df(2L)ΔMst35B homozygous sperm.

Xenogenetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The reduction in climbing ability seen in 50 day old flies expressing Hsap\GPR37Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu is made more severe by the addition of dhdJ5/+.

Complementation and Rescue Data
Comments

The female sterility of dhdJ5 homozygotes is rescued by dhd+t4.8 or dhd+t4.3, but not dhdtC34S. The male pronucleus chromatin defects observed upon fertilization of eggs laid by dhdJ5 homozygous females is rescued by dhd+t4.3, but not dhdtC34S.

Female sterility can be rescued by dhdhs.PP, but not by dhdC31S.C34S.hs.
