AGO1k08121 heterozygotes and AGO1k08121/AGO104845 transheterozygotes exhibit crystalline aggregates (of Stellate protein) in spermatocytes, which are absent in control spermatocytes.

AGO1k08121 heterozygotes do not display significant changes in the length of third instar larval neuromuscular junctions, as compared to controls.

AGO1k08121 mutant result class IV dendritic arborizing neurons exhibit a reduction in mean terminal dendrite length.

Homozygous female germline clones result in variable loss of the oocyte. The frequency of egg chambers lacking an oocyte is dramatically increased at 14 days after eclosion (DAE) compared to 7 DAE. At 14 DAE, the most commonly observed developmental arrest amongst egg chambers lacking an oocyte is at 8 nurse cells. At 14 days DAE, region 2 of the germarium is smaller than normal and contains only 8-cell cysts with smaller and less branched fusomes than normal.

Homozygous projection neuron (PN) clones show normal dendrite and axon targeting in adPN clones and in DL1 single cell projection neuron clones.

Heterozygous AGO1k08121 flies show normal 1-d memory after spaced or massed training.

AGO1k08121 females in which expression of AGO1hs.PK via daily heat shock has been used to provide AGO1 function until eclosion have normal ovaries 3 days after eclosion. However, at 15 days old these flies show strong defects in germline stem cell maintenance in the germaria: only 6.3% of germaria have a normal looking structure containing two stem cells, 19.0% contain a single stem cell, 45.6% contain differentiated germ cells with branched fusomes only and 29.1% contain no germ cells at all.

AGO1k08121/AGO114 females in which expression of AGO1hs.PK via daily heat shock has been used to provide AGO1 function until eclosion have normal ovaries 3 days after eclosion. However, at 15 days old these flies show strong defects in germline stem cell maintenance in the germaria: only 10.6% of germaria have a normal looking structure containing two stem cells, 23.9% contain a single stem cell, 60.1% contain differentiated germ cells with branched fusomes only and 5.3% contain no germ cells at all.

AGO1k08121/AGO1EMS females in which expression of AGO1hs.PK via daily heat shock has been used to provide AGO1 function until eclosion have normal ovaries 3 days after eclosion. However, at 15 days old these flies show strong defects in germline stem cell maintenance in the germaria: only 10.3% of germaria have a normal looking structure containing two stem cells, 26.5% contain a single stem cell, 60.3% contain differentiated germ cells with branched fusomes only and 2.9% contain no germ cells at all.

Marked homozygous, AGO1k08121/AGO114 and AGO1k08121/AGO1EMS germline stem cell clones are lost from the ovary at a faster rate than marked control clones.

AGO1k08121 zygotic mutants are less responsive than wild-type embryos to RNAi mediated by evedsRNA.cWa or ftzdsRNA.cWa as assayed by phenotypes of dsRNA injected embryos. They are also less responsive to siRNA mediated RNAi, as assayed by the phenotypes of evedsRNA.si.cWa.

Homozygous embryos have no abnormal denticle phenotype. AGO1k08121/Df(2R)50C-45 embryos derived from homozygous AGO1k08121 female germline clones show no obvious abnormality in segment polarity, but show a decrease in the number of denticle-forming epidermal cells, the reduction being severe in the most anterior denticle row. Embryos lacking maternal and zygotic AGO1 function show disruption of the longitudinal and commissural axons in the CNS at stages 14-16. There is a reduction in the number of neurons in the PNS, including an 80% reduction in the number of chordotonal neurons. The number of glial cells is also reduced. The number of neuroblasts and glioblasts appears normal. Stage 15 embryos contain more dying cells than normal.

The crystalline aggregates observed in the spermatocytes of AGO1k08121 heterozygotes are suppressed by aubsting-1 heterozygosity.

AGO1k08121, aubsting-1 double homozygotes and AGO1k08121, aubHN2 double homozygotes do not display significant changes in the length of third instar larval neuromuscular junctions, as compared to controls.

Fmr1Δ50M, AGO1k08121 double heterozygotes exhibit a complete block of the long-term habituation (LTH) normally seen when flies are exposed to either ethyl butyrate (EB) or CO[[2]]] for 4 days. LTH appears normal in either heterozygote alone. This loss of EB-evoked LTH is restored by expression of Fmr1+t14. Short term habituation following one hour exposure to EB appears normal.

AGO1k08121 dominantly partially suppresses the supernumerary bristle phenotype seen on the notum of gcmPyx heterozygotes.

The survival of roX1ex33A Df(1)roX2Δ adult males is not significantly altered if they are also heterozygous for AGO1k08121.

AGO1k08121, Atx2X1 double heterozygotes exhibit a complete block of the long-term habituation (LTH) seen when flies are exposed to either ethyl butyrate (EB) or CO[[2]]] for 4 days. LTH appears normal in either heterozygote alone. This loss of EB-evoked LTH is restored by expression of Atx2+t10.4. Short term habituation following one hour exposure to EB appears normal. LTH-associated structural plasticity is also blocked: although the V and DM5 glomeruli of Atx2X1/+ flies show the expected growth following 4d of CO[[2]] or EB exposure, respectively, both the EB-evoked increase in DM5 volume and the CO[[2]]-induced increase in V are abolished in AGO1k08121/+; Atx2X1/+ double heterozygotes. These defects in structural plasticity are restored by Atx2+t10.4.

Double mutant AGO1k08121 AFO2414 projection neuron (PN) clones show normal glomerular target selection in adPN clones and in DL1 single cell projection neuron clones.

Double heterozygous AGO1k08121/+; Fmr13/+ mutant flies show defective 1-d memory after spaced training, but not after massed training.

At relatively low concentrations of cycloheximide or puromycin, 1-d memory after spaced training is significantly ameliorated in AGO1k08121/+; Fmr13/+ or AGO1k08121/+; Fmr1B155/+ mutants (and unaffected in wild-type).

The stiZ3-5829 rough eye phenotype is dominantly enhanced by AGO1k08121.

The small eye phenotype of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF>thdsRNA.Scer\UAS flies is mildly suppressed by AGO1k08121/+.

Embryos from AGO1k08121; Dcr-1Q1147X parents show segment polarity defects, a phenotype not seen in either single mutant.

AGO1k08121; AGO251B double mutant embryos show a strong segment polarity defect.

Not allelic to shot.

Excision of the P{lacW} element reverts the lethality.

Unlike wild-type embryo extracts, AGO1k08121 embryo extracts do not degrade mRNA when preincubated with a homologous dsRNA (tested for w and eve transcript targets). However, the rate of siRNA production from dsRNA in these extracts is identical to wild-type.

Precise excision of the insertion reverts the lethal phenotype, producing viable and fertile flies.
