Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygous and chb2/chb4 embryos show ectopic crossing of the midline by axons in the central nervous system. pCC axons often orient towards the midline in mutant embryos (in contrast to wild type where pCC axons extend slightly away from the midline) and sometimes crosses the midline to meet its contralateral homologue. Mutant embryos occasionally show premature arrest of the ISNb axon, at the muscle 13 cleft.

Mitotic defects are seen in the cells of the larval central nervous system in chb4/chbS068607 flies. Polyploid metaphase figures (15%), diploid metaphase figures with hypercondensed chromosomes (4%) and circular metaphase figures (4%) are seen. The metaphase to anaphase ratio and the mitotic index is increased compared to wild type. Third instar chb4/chb2 larvae lack imaginal discs and have a small central nervous system. More than 80% of total metaphase figures are polyploid, and more than 30% of polyploid figures have greater than an 8N chromosome complement. Circular metaphase figures and anaphase figures cannot be detected.

The frequency of axons ectopically crossing the midline in chb4 Abl2 double homozygous embryos is substantially increased compared to the frequency seen in either single homozygote. chb4 Abl2 double homozygous embryos show an increased frequency of premature arrest of the ISNb axon compared to either single homozygote, with the arrest being seen at both the muscle 6/7 and the muscle 13 choice points. sli2 chb4 double heterozygous embryos have axons ectopically crossing the midline. capt10 chb4 double heterozygous embryos do not show a significant increase in axons ectopically crossing the midline compared to controls. robo1 chb4 double heterozygous embryos have axons ectopically crossing the midline. Heterozygosity for learobo2-8 enhances the frequency of axons ectopically crossing the midline that is seen in robo1 chb4 double heterozygous embryos. Heterozygosity for robo31 does not enhance the frequency of axons ectopically crossing the midline that is seen in robo1 chb4 double heterozygous embryos. The ISNb bypass phenotype caused by expression of AblScer\UAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu is reduced by chb4/chb4.
