Detailed Description

Reference

ensswo homozygous stage 16 embryo myotubes present abnormal nuclear positioning, with severe nuclear clustering.

ensswo mutant larvae display locomotion deficit measured as distance crawled per unit of time) and although the nuclei in their abdominal muscles are irregularly spaced, they do not form clusters.

Mutant embryos have clustered nuclei near the vental end of each lateral transverse muscle. Myoblast specification, fusion, muscle elongation and attachment occur normally - the only notable phenotype in ensswo muscles is a ventral bulge in the cell body that correlates with the cluster of nuclei. This suggests the clustering of nuclei is a nuclear positioning defect.

ensswo nuclei fail to undergo the initial separation into dorsal and ventral clusters during stage 15 and remain clustered at stage 17.

ensHP36480, ensf07121, ensΔN, ensΔC and ensΔ3277 fail to complement the myonuclear positioning defect of ensswo.

Nuclear positioning is disrupted in ensswo oocytes but not in ensswo photoreceptors.

No major defects in the microtubule network are observed in ensswo mutant embryos.

ensswo L3 larvae move significantly more slowly than controls. The myonuclei in these mutants are 33% closer together than in controls, though sarcomere structure, t-tubules, neuromuscular junctions, nuclei number and mitochondrial localization are all normal.

The progeny from the cross between Bsg25Dnull.R/Bsg25Dnull.R fathers and either Bsg25Dnull.R/Bsg25Dnull.R, ensswo/+ or Bsg25Dnull.R/Df(2L)BSC693, ensswo/+ mothers is embryonic or larval lethal; progeny from the reciprocal cross does not show any major viability defects, as compared to controls. The lethality of the former is rescued by one copy of Dp(2;3)GV-CH321-49G22.

Bsg25Dnull.R/Bsg25Dnull.R, ensswo/+ and Bsg25Dnull.R/Df(2L)BSC693, ensswo/+ stage 16 embryos exhibit a small but significantly higher frequency of nucleus positioning defects in myotubes as compared to ensswo/+ individuals: nuclei traverse less of the distance toward the muscle poles; in some myotubes, myonuclei are present as one cluster. The nucleus positioning defects of the former individuals are partially rescued by one copy of Dp(2;3)GV-CH321-49G22.

Bsg25Dnull.R, ensswo double homozygous stage 16 embryos exhibit the same severe myotube nucleus clustering as observed in ensswo single homozygotes.

Unlike any single heterozygote, embryos doubly heterozygous for ensswo and Khc8 or Khc4 show defective myonuclear positioning.

Comments

Scer\GAL4twi.PB-mediated expression of ensScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 rescues the myonuclear positioning phenotype of ensswo embryos.

Scer\GAL4twi.PB-, Scer\GAL4G7- or Scer\GAL4α-mediated expression of ensScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 rescues the myonuclear positioning and motility defects of ensswo L3 larvae.
