Detailed Description

Statement

Reference

Ote^B279/Ote^PK adults exhibit small ovaries.

(Tsatskis et al., 2020)

Ote^PK/Ote^B279 mutant females display a severe reduction in the number of eggs laid per day, and males are fertile in the first 6 days of adulthood but exhibit significantly decreased fertility with age. Ovaries from Ote^PK/Ote^B279 mutant adult females contain normal numbers of terminal filament cells, but decreased numbers of cap cells and escort cells, and some mutants show loss of germline stem cells, and absence of differentiating germ cells, as compared to wild type. Cap cell number further declines with age, and the decreased cap cell number is more pronounced in mutant germaria that do not contain germ cells. In the larval ovary, Ote^PK/Ote^B279 mutants display delayed terminal filament formation. A subset of Ote^PK/Ote^B279 mutant adult males display testis phenotypes, including varying degrees of germ cell and germline stem cell loss that worsen with age, decreased cell adhesion in the niche, on average fewer (but more variability in number of) hub cells in the niche, and increasing variability in hub size with age, but no defect in somatic cyst stem cell maintenance, as compared to wild type. There is no association of germ cell loss with canonical apoptosis. Male gonads are smaller in Ote^PK/Ote^B279 mutant third instar larvae than in wild type, and the niches in mutants have reduced germline stem cell numbers compared to wild type.

(Barton et al., 2016)

Ovaries from homozygous, Ote^B279/Df(2R)ED3636, Ote^B279/Ote^PK and Ote^B279/Ote^EMS females have a range of mutant germarial phenotypes. These include germaria containing no germ cells, germaria containing fusomes only, germaria containing both spectrosomes and fusomes (the vast majority of this class carry a single developing cyst connected by an incompletely branched fusome) and germaria containing spectrosomes only (germaria in this class contain a higher number of spectrosome containing cells than normal). The "empty germaria" and "spectrosomes only" classes are recovered at high frequency. The phenotype is sensitive to genetic background.

Ovaries of Ote^B279/Ote^PK third instar larvae have a normal cellular organisation, with approximately 30% fewer primordial germ cells (PGCs) than age-matched control ovaries. The mutant PGCs all contain spectrosomes with no evidence of branching. Niches are formed in the mutant gonads at the pupal stage and occupied by germ cells, as occurs in wild type. However, the mutant pupal gonads do not contain differentiated egg chambers (egg chambers are established in wild type pupal gonads).

(Barton et al., 2013)

Homozygous germline stem cell clones are lost more quickly from ovaries compared to control clones.

Genetic Interactions

Statement

Reference

Nemp^RR1/+; Ote^B279/Ote^B279 or Nemp^RR1/+; Ote^B279/Ote^PK ovaries exhibit a reduction in the number of Vasa[+] germ cells.

(Tsatskis et al., 2020)

Ote^B279/Ote^PK ; bocks^Δ10/bocks^Δ66 larval brains are small, with few proliferating cells, and imaginal discs are small or absent.

Ote^B279/Ote^PK ; MAN1^Δ81/MAN1^Δ26 larvae have normal sized brains and imaginal discs.

(Barton et al., 2014)

Germ cells with fusomes are found in ovaries one day after heat shock in Ote^B279/Ote^B279 or Ote^PK/Ote^B279 females carrying bam^hs.PO. Three days after heat shock the mutant germaria are largely devoid of germ cells and the ovaries contain a very low number of egg chambers.

Comments

Expression of Ote^nos.PB restores fertility, rescues the germline stem cell maintenance, differentiation germ cell number, somatic cell number and cell adhesion phenotypes of both Ote^PK/Ote^B279 mutant males and females, but does not fully restore hub size in mutant males.

Expression of Ote^{Scer\UAS.P\T.cBa} under the control of Scer\GAL4^en.PU, Scer\GAL4^bab1-Gal4, or Scer\GAL4^C587 fails to rescue the sterility, loss of germline stem cells, lack of differentiating germ cells, or loss of cap cells observed in Ote^PK/Ote^B279 mutant females.
