In kuze29-4 homozygotes, the larval central brain exhibits ectopically proliferating neuroblasts (i.e. increased numbers in S-phase), compared to controls.
kuze29-4 embryos do not show blood-brain barrier or trachea barrier as, like in controls, dye injected into the body cavity does not diffuses into the ventral nerve cord of into the tracheal tubes; the trachea also presents a normal distribution of the septate junction protein, NrxIV.
kuze29-4 homozygous embryos do not show any obvious somatic musculature phenotype, as compared to controls.
kuze29-4/kuze29-4 mutant embryos show no change in overall neuroblast numbers, but show extra Ap neurons, and extra EL neurons, as compared with controls. These mutants also display increased proliferation of thoracic and abdominal neuroblast daughter cells at stage 14 and 15 (but not stage 12), but no significant difference in proliferation of thoracic or abdominal neuroblasts at stage 12, 14 or 15, as compared with controls.
kuze29-4/+ mutant embryos do not display a significant difference in the number of Ap neurons or EL neurons, as compared to controls.
Hemizygous embryos have an increased number of "Ap" neurons in the NB5-6T lineage.
Stage 16 kuze29-4 embryos exhibit thinning of the longitudinal connectives and thickening of the commissures compared to controls. FasII axons ectopically cross the midline.
kuze29-4 mutant embryos exhibit an approximately twofold excess of cardioblasts.
In kuze29-4 mutant embryos cardioblasts fail to adopt the final cell morphology. The characteristic bean-like shape of cardioblasts, that normally form the ostia at stage 16/17, is not recognizable. Also, the four tin-expressing cardioblasts, which usually have a flattened, cube-like morphology with a distinct polarisation, exhibit an abnormal morphology.
Embryos that are maternally and zygotically homozygous kuze29-4 show hypertrophy of nervous system elements resulting in the lack of an organised CNS.
Mitotic clones reaching the wing margin result in notches on the wing blade. Clones in the notum result in clusters of supernumerary macrochaetes and microchaetes. Microchaetae clusters are abolished by expression of Nicd.hs at 7-9 hours APF.
A greater proportion of the embryo has developed as neural tissue that wild type, hypertrophy of the nervous system. Most embryos show no cuticle.

kuze29-4/kuze29-4, Df(3L)ED225/Df(3L)ED225 double mutant embryos display a similar degree of supernumerary Ap neurons, but an enhanced supernumerary EL neuron phenotype, as compared to kuze29-4/kuze29-4 single mutants. These double mutants also display increased proliferation of thoracic neuroblasts at stage 15 (but not stage 12 or 14), thoracic neuroblast daughter cells at stage 14 and 15 (but not stage 12), and abdominal neuroblasts and neuroblast daughter cells at stage 14 and 15 (but not stage 12), as compared with controls.
kuze29-4/+, dap7867/+ double mutant embryos display a significant increase in the number of Ap neurons and EL neurons, and show increased proliferation of neuroblast daughter cells, but not neuroblasts, as compared to controls.
kuze29-4/+, Df(3R)BSC751/+ double mutant embryos display a significant increase in the number of Ap neurons, as compared to controls.
Expression of dapScer\UAS.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU partially suppresses the increased Ap neuron number phenotype, and fully suppresses the increased EL neuron number phenotype, and suppresses the increased daughter cell proliferation of kuze29-4/kuze29-4 mutants.
kuze29-4/+ has no detectable effect on the eye-phenotype resulting from the expression of hbsVDRC.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev.
The wing vein phenotype resulting from the expression of uifasterisk.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4A9 is enhanced by kuze29-4.
The addition of NScer\UAS.ΔLN.T:Ecol\lexA or NScer\UAS.ΔLNR.T:Ecol\lexA suppresses the neural hypertrophy seen in kuze29-4 embryos leading to an identifiable central nervous system.
