S333F
Homozygous nctST2 large mutant eye disc clones (generated in a Minute/+ background) display very few neurons, and an overall reduction in disc size is observed. On the contrary, small nctST2 clones (generated in a wild-type background) display supernumerary neurons, and extra R8 neurons are present. The nuclei of these extra cells are often observed in basal locations not normally occupied by photoreceptor neuron nuclei, and occasionally some nuclei drop into the optic stalk. These misplaced nuclei are always observed in the posterior region of clones, in the more mature neurons. Apicobasal polarity and epithelial integrity is very occasionally disrupted in these cells.
