oocyte & pericentriolar material
par-1Δ-16 mutant class IV dendritic arborizing neuron MARCM clones display severe pruning defects at 18 h after pupariation.
Border follicle cell migration is disrupted in mosaic egg chambers containing homozygous follicle cell clones.
The severity of the border follicle cell migration defects seen in females expressing par-1dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cMDa under the control of Scer\GAL4c306 are increased if the flies are also heterozygous for par-1Δ-16.
A small fraction of par-1Δ-16/par-1k06323 animals survive to late larval stages. Some boutons at the neuromuscular junction of muscle 6/7 are smaller than normal and irregularly shaped in these mutant larvae, and the number of boutons is slightly, but significantly increased compared to normal. The subsynaptic reticulum (SSR) is expanded in the mutant type I boutons, with the overall SSR to bouton area ratio being higher than that of controls.
The frequency of the miniature excitatory junctional current is slightly increased in par-1k06323/par-1Δ-16 animals compared to controls, while the amplitude is not significantly altered. The amplitude of the evoked excitatory junctional current is increased in the mutant animals compared to controls, and the quantal content is also significantly increased.
Homozygous follicle cell clones generated before the formation of the follicle cell epithelium show severe defects in epithelial organisation.
Mutant follicle cells show an increase in the density of microtubules compared to their wild-type neighbours in mosaic egg chambers (when the egg chambers are fixed using an optimised procedure for preserving microtubules).
Germ-line clones of par-1Δ-16 yield no vitellogenic oocytes. Mutant females fail to produce any eggs. Mutant egg chambers contain 16 polyploid nurse cells, and no oocyte. The egg chambers are also blocked at stage 5 to 6 of oogenesis. The fusome develops normally in this egg chambers. However ring canal formation and organisation is disrupted. In mosaic egg chambers the posterior-most germ-cell (which would become the oocyte) does not show the characteristic cluster of the four largest ring canals. This cell also normally characterised by the presence of an active microtubule organisation centre (MTOC) when the developing egg chamber is in region 3 of the germarium. This is also not present in mutant egg chambers. In stage 2 mutant egg chambers, there is no apparent posterior accumulation of microtubules, but rather the microtubules remain evenly distributed within the mutant cyst. Finally in later stage mosaic egg chambers there remains no posterior accumulation of microtubules or visible MTOC formation. When homozygous mutant follicles cells surround wild-type germ-line cells, the normal development of 15 nurse cells and a single oocyte occurs. Within the mutant follicle cells there is a loss of microtubules (indicated by the abolishment of αtubulin expression). The cells also loses their characteristic columnar shape and appear irregular in size and shape. Secondly a disruption can be seen in the monolayer such that two follicle cells appear to be stacked on top of one another.

A par-1Δ-16 heterozygous background alleviates the rough-eye phenotype seen upon expression of Hsap\DAPK1K42A.Scer\UAS in the eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF. Photoreceptor neurons are partially rescued in these flies, albeit with abnormal numbers and arrangements.
