contractile ring & meiotic cell cycle | male
Amnioserosa cells of dia1 mutant embryos are bigger, show larger perimeter, and present a more regular, more round shape, and exhibit a decrease in the amplitude of the cell contraction.
dia1 embryos exhibit delayed dorsal closure phenotypes, such as decreased zipping speed, puckering of the dorsal epidermis, an unstretched leading edge, a malformed canthus and disintegration of the Amnioserosa.
The actin ring is usually missing in the first meiotic division in homozygous males.
Homozygous males exhibit altered cyst cell behaviour. Male germ cells are rare and these germ cells fail to proliferate properly.
Spermatocytes and spermatids degenerate. By 5 days post-eclosion most mutant testes are devoid of germinal contents. Testes of newly eclosed males contain far fewer spermatids than normal, and spermatids are large and multinucleate. The size of the nebenkern is proportional to the ploidy of the spermatid. Homozygous females are wild type. In trans to a deficiency a female sterile phenotype is revealed. Ovaries are smaller than wild type and have short fused or extra dorsal appendages. Only 10% of the eggs hatch. Follicle cells in mutant ovaries have an abnormal appearance, nuclei varying considerably in size, and some of the follicle cells appear to have two nuclei. Cytokinesis fails to occur in some follicle cells.
Late-stage cysts are present at eclosion. Testes are empty in 5-day old males. Hemizygotes are male sterile and female semi-sterile. Ovaries contain a few egg chambers.

dia[+]/dia1 is a suppressor of visible phenotype of LIMK1UAS.cCa, Scer\GAL4en-e16E
dia[+]/dia1 is a suppressor of wing phenotype of LIMK1UAS.cCa, Scer\GAL4en-e16E
dia[+]/dia1 is a suppressor of mitotic domain 1 | embryonic cycle 14 phenotype of CycB+t10
dia[+]/dia1 is a non-suppressor of aster | embryonic cycle 5 phenotype of CycB+t10
dia[+]/dia1 is a non-suppressor of aster | embryonic cycle 6 phenotype of CycB+t10
dia[+]/dia1 is a non-suppressor of aster | embryonic cycle 7 phenotype of CycB+t10
dia1/+ suppresses the mutant wing phenotype caused by expression of LIMK1Scer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E (the % of wings with normal morphology at 18oC is increased from 9% to 98%).
