BicDR26 protein becomes localized to the oocyte at significantly higher levels than in wild type.

In wild type females, BicD RNA is detected very early in oogenesis in the 16 cystocyte cluster and progressively accumulates in a single cell, the oocyte. In BicDR26 mutants, BicD RNA does not localized to a single cystocyte, but is found in all of the pro-nurse cells.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

13% of neuroblast mitoses are more than 45o off-axis in embryos derived from BicDHA40.T:Ivir\HA1 ; BicDR26/Df(2L)TW119 females mated to BicDR26/+ males (in contrast to wild type where all neuroblast divisions are oriented within 45o of the apicobasal axis). The average length of metaphase spindles in these mutant neuroblasts is significantly less than normal.

Mutant ovaries fail to make an oocyte.

More than 4 cells per germline cyst enter meiosis in homozygous females, but the cysts still retain a graded distribution of the synaptonemal complex (SC), with the highest levels in the two pro-oocytes. The SC sometimes becomes restricted to these 2 cells in region 2b/3, but eventually disappears in region 3. The 2 cells eventually adopt the nurse cell fate.

When in combination with BicDH2, BicDH3 or BicDHA40.T:Ivir\HA1 over null or loss of function BicD, BicDR26 increases the proportion of ventralised eggs to 100%. When transheterozygous with a wild type allele, female fertility is normal.

Fusomes in the cysts of BicDr/BicDR26 ovaries appear to form normally.

Egg chambers of hemizygous females start to degenerate around stage 7.

Embryos exhibit a fused dorsal appendage.

No oocyte differentiation, no microtubule organising centre.

Fusomes are normal.

No single microtubule organizing center forms in the germaria of hemizygous females, instead several small foci are present. The actin cytoskeleton is unaffected.

Abdominal defect: no eggs.
