Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

grpfsA4/+ embryos exhibit a significant decrease in S-phase length while they do not exhibit any changes in centriole growth rate, growth period or size when compared to controls.

Homozygotes show strongly reduced survival after exposure to hydroxyurea or methylmethanesulfonate.

0% of egg chambers have a mutant karyosome in mutant females.

In embryos from grpfsA4 mothers, the chromosomes arrest at cycle 13 and lower, while chromosomes arrest at cycle 14 in wild-type embryos.

Homozygous larvae are sensitive to methyl methanesulfonate and hydroxyurea compared to control larvae.

Mutant embryos exhibit spindle assembly and centrosome defects beginning at mitosis 12, with severe defects consistently observed by mitosis 13.

In the absence of irradiation, grpfsA4 animals have a normal external appearance, normal imaginal disc morphology and normal numbers of mitotic cells in the discs. After irradiation, the number of mitotic cells in grpfsA4 discs is greater than the number found in irradiated wild-type discs.

Embryos derived from homozygous females show defects in syncytial-division timing. Homozygotes are more sensitive to hydroxyurea and methyl methanesulfonate than wild-type.

Mutant embryos fail to undergo changes in cell-cycle timing and embryo morphology associated with the midblastula transition (MBT). Interphase length does not increase significantly during divisions 11-13, mitosis 13 is immediately followed by at least two additional syncytial cycles of spindle assembly/disassembly and nuclear envelope breakdown/assembly.

In haploid grpfsA4 embryos, created by fertilization of eggs by ms(3)K81unspecified fathers, chromosomes arrest at cycle 14, as in wild-type embryos. This is in contrast to the premature arrest seen in diploid grpfsA4 embryos.

The dorsal appendage defects of eggs derived from spn-Bunspecified females are not suppressed by grpfsA4/grpfsA4.

In grpfsA4, lokp6 embryos, essentially normal centrosomes and spindles are seen through mitosis 13.

Approximately 4% of embryos derived from mei-41D3/mei-41D5 females hatch at 25oC, while approximately 45% hatch at 20oC. If the females are also heterozygous for grpfsA4, the hatch rates are reduced to 1% and 23% at 25oC and 20oC respectively. mei-41D3 grpfsA4 double heterozygous larvae are more sensitive to methyl methanesulfonate than single heterozygous larvae.
