Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

BicD1/BicDr5 females show reduced enrichment of yolk granules at the posterior of stage 8-9 oocytes compared to wild type.

Heterozygous BicD1 females produce 16% wild-type embryos and 84% embryos with various defects, including reduced mouthparts and bicaudal phenotypes.

Embryos derived from BicD1/BicD2 mothers show a duplication of posterior structures and a lack of anterior structures. These embryos lack macrophages. Apoptotic cells accumulate at the ventral surface of the central nervous system (CNS), and subperineural glia contain an abundance of apoptotic cells. Single unengulfed apoptotic cells are also seen inside the CNS. The number of subperineural glia per abdominal segment is not significantly different from wild-type in stage 16 embryos.

Does not prevent the posterior localization of G-iα65A protein.

Embryos from mutant females are bicaudal.

Hemocytes cannot be detected, suggesting that in the absence of head mesoderm the trunk population of mesoderm cannot produce hemocytes. Cellular debris becomes located in the extracellular space.

Ectopic nos activity at the anterior pole of embryos derived from BicD1 mutant females blocks bcd protein expression from bcdΔ transcripts but not from bcd+ transcripts. None of the embryos bearing the bcdΔ mRNA display the bcd phenotype.

Lack of head and thoracic anlagen is caused by the lack of bcd protein.
