S954L
The mutation was mapped as S954L with respect to GB:U86404. It maps to residue 965 the current annotation due to the use of a translation start further upstream.
embryonic neuroblast & spindle (with egl1)
Embryos derived from egl3e/egl1 mothers mated to egl4/+ fathers often show a disrupted epidermis. At stage 13, the salivary gland placode area is often disrupted. Salivary gland morphogenesis is disrupted in that cells of the placode often do not change their apices in a coordinated way; the invagination hole appears too large and extended; and the invaginated portion of the glands often has an irregular shape.
12% of neuroblast mitoses are more than 45o off-axis in embryos derived from egl3e/egl1 females (in contrast to wild type where all neuroblast divisions are oriented within 45o of the apicobasal axis). The average length of metaphase spindles in these mutant neuroblasts is significantly less than normal.
egl3e mutant ovaries exhibit a phenotype similar to egldlc2pt.otu mutant ovaries. In approximately 70% of egl3e mutant germaria examined, the synaptonemal complex is formed and restricted to one cell by stage one (as in wild-type), but the localisation of the synaptonemal complex to the oocyte is not maintained. In the remaining 30% of cases, restriction of the synaptonemal complex to a single cell is delayed.
In egl3e/egldlc2pt.otu mutants the karyosomes of mature egg chambers do not form properly. In addition, the chromatin of these cells appears fragmented or condensed.
egl3e/egl1 mutant egg chambers exhibit incorrectly formed karyosomes, with fragmented or decondensed chromatin.
egl3e is a suppressor of partially lethal - majority die | embryonic stage phenotype of BicDD, stauunspecified
egl3e/stauunspecified is a suppressor of partially lethal - majority die | embryonic stage phenotype of BicDD
egl3e/egl1 has embryonic neuroblast & spindle phenotype, suppressible by inschs.PKb
egl3e/egl1 is an enhancer of embryonic/first instar larval cuticle phenotype of ftz13
egl3e/egl1 is an enhancer of embryonic/first instar larval cuticle phenotype of eve1.27
egl3e/egl1 is an enhancer of embryonic/first instar larval cuticle phenotype of hryi22
egl3e/egl1 is a non-enhancer of embryonic/first instar larval cuticle phenotype of Kr1
egl3e/egl1 is a non-suppressor of embryonic/first instar larval cuticle phenotype of Kr1
The frequency of cuticular segmentation phenotypes in eve1.27/+ first instar larvae is significantly enhanced in animals with a egl3e/egl1 mutant mother. The frequency of cuticular segmentation phenotypes in ftz13/+ first instar larvae is significantly enhanced in animals with a egl3e/egl1 mutant mother. The frequency of cuticular segmentation phenotypes in hi22/+ first instar larvae is significantly enhanced in animals with a egl3e/egl1 mutant mother. The frequency of cuticular segmentation phenotypes in Kr1/+ first instar larvae is not significantly changed in animals with a egl3e/egl1 mutant mothers, however the identity of segments affected differs slightly: there are less defects in A1 and A2, and more defects in A3. The frequency of cuticular segmentation phenotypes in wgl-17/+ first instar larvae is not significantly changed in animals with a egl3e/egl1 mutant mother.
Expression of inschs.PKb rescues the average length of metaphase spindles in neuroblasts of embryos derived from egl3e/egl1 females to a value similar to wild type.
BicDD stauunspecified / egl3e triple mutants exhibit a 46% hatch-rate, compared to BicDD stauunspecified double mutants, which exhibit a hatch-rate of 19%. This indicates suppression of the BicDD stauunspecified phenotype by egl3e.
