Cdc20, BG:DS02740.14
WD40 domain protein - homolog of Cdc20 - required for the activity of the anaphase promoting complex in mitosis - functions to target the three mitotic cyclins A, B and B3 for destruction in the egg and drive anaphase progression during meiosis

fzy protein is ubiquitous in stage 5 to 10 embryos, but its expression is restricted to proliferating cells after stage 11. The highest level of fzy protein in stage 11 embryos is found in the CNS precursors. At stage 14, the neuroblasts and ganglion mother cells at the edges of the ventral nerve cord and the brain lobes contain fzy protein.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
Eggs derived from mutant females almost invariably arrest in anaphase of meiosis II.
SL2 cells treated with dsRNA against fzy show a clear increase in the mitotic index compared to control cells.
S2 cells treated with dsRNA generated against this gene show reduced phagocytosis of Candida albicans compared to untreated cells.
RNAi generated by PCR using primers directed to this gene causes a cell growth and viability phenotype when assayed in Kc167 and S2R+ cells.
RNAi screen using dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene causes a cell growth and viability phenotype when assayed in Kc167 and S2R+ cells.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
RNAi screen using dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene causes a phenotype when assayed in Kc167 and S2R+ cells: cell morphology is aberrant and there is an increased frequency of microtubule-based mitotic spindles, indicative of a failure in mitosis.
fzy is required for timely disengagement of mother and daughter centrioles in embryos.
fzy has been cloned and sequenced, and its expression pattern has been analysed.
Mutations in fzy result in metaphase arrest, neither CycA, CycB or CycB3 are degraded in this arrest. Comparison of the fzy mutant phenotype with the phenotype resulting from expression of N-terminal truncated CycA, CycB or CycB3 suggests that fzy is not only required for mitotic cyclin degradation because fzy mutations, but not truncated cyclins, block chromosome separation. Inactivation of a temperature sensitive cdc2 in fzy metaphase arrest causes a reversion to interphase morphology. This reversion is not accompanied by completion of mitosis so there is no increase in anaphase cells or change in cell number or size.
The fizzy gene function is required maternally and zygotically for dividing cells to exit metaphase and complete mitosis. Zygotic fzy is required for normal differentiation of the ventral neurogenic ectoderm. Double mutant analysis shows that stg is epistatic to fzy.
3 additional alleles are discussed but are not named.
