mitosis & nuclear chromosome
Neuroblasts in poloS132408/poloS025604 and polo1/poloS132408 transheterozygous third instar larval brains are increased in number and show increased time in mitosis, with a delay between spindle assembly checkpoint silencing and anaphase onset. Brain material transplanted into wild-type host abdomens develops into tumors.
polo1/poloS132408 and poloS025604/poloS132408transheterozygous third instar larval brains show low but significant levels of aneuploidy/polyploidy.
Homozygous embryos show localised increased or decreased in cardial cell (CC) number, larger than normal CC nuclei and incorrectly positioned CCs.
poloS132408 mutant third instar larval brains exhibit mitotic arrest.
Mutants show a neuroblast overproliferation phenotype.
poloS025604/poloS132408 animals survive to adult but are sterile
Lethal phase is during the third larval instar. Mutant larval brains have a mitotic index that is elevated about 8-fold above that of wild-type cells. The mitotic chromosomes are much more highly condensed than normal. Many cells appear arrested in a metaphase-like state (the metaphase/anaphase ratio is 26.1 compared to 5.8 in wild-type cells). The proportion of figures in which chromosomes are well separated at anaphase is relatively low, although in absolute numbers it is comparable to that in wild-type cells. 11.3% of mitotic cells are aneuploid or polyploid. A small fraction (1.2%) of circular mitotic figures is seen. Approximately 40% of cells show premature separation of at least one set of their sister chromatids. In addition, chromosomes frequently appear to be connected through their telomeric regions. The metaphase arrested cells have robust arrays of microtubules but lack asters at their poles. 78.6% of pairs of sister centromeric regions show separation.

A mad2EY21687 background suppresses the mitotic arrest found in poloS132408 mutants. A mad2EY21687 background reduces the rate of apoptosis in poloS132408 mutants close to that of wild-type cells.
Expression of poloScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 in a poloS132408 and mad2EY21687 double mutants results in the majority of cells undergoing normal cytokinesis and mitosis.

Cells in poloS132408 BubR1k06109 double mutant larval brains have a mitotic index of 3.7, comparable to the wild-type value of 3.3 (poloS132408 single mutants have a mitotic index of 25.0). The spindles still show the characteristic polo mutant defects at the poles (which are anastral). Sister chromatids already separated at metaphase and lagging chromatids at anaphase are seen (similar to those seen in BubR1 single mutants). 49.2% of mitotic figures are aneuploid or polyploid.
