oocyte & spindle (with Df(3R)110)
Cycle 10 embryos from tacc1/Df(3R)Exel6142 mothers display a movement of yolk nuclei to the cortex associated with multiple free centrosomes.
The number and length of the astral and spindle microtubules in metaphase spindles seems to be reduced in mutant embryos.
About 30-50% of embryos laid by tacc1/Df(3R)110 or (tacc1/Df(3R)ME15) mothers initiate development but die during early embryogenesis from an accumulation of mitotic defects, with may free centrosomes or aneuploid nuclei. Also the nuclei often fail to migrate to the cortex and remain tightly clustered in the middle of the embryo. Microtubules extending from the centrosome seem shorter than wild-type. The remainder of embryos arrest at the first mitotic division with a single spindle surrounding an apparently haploid set of nuclei. In these embryos the four female pronuclei seem to form normally but do not migrate to fuse with the male pronucleus.

tacc1 is rescued by taccUbi-p63E.PG
tacc1 is rescued by taccUbi-p63E.mGFP6
Rescuable by taccUbi-p63E.PG and taccUbi-p63E.T:Avic\GFP-m6.
The tacc1 chromosome carries other recessive lethal mutations.
