Eggs laid by cuffWM25, cuffWM25/cuffKG05951 and cuffWM25/cuffQQ37 females show a variable ventralised phenotype.
The oocyte nucleus has defective morphology in 10-20% of stage 9 egg chambers in cuffWM25/cuffKG05951 females, often the DNA seems to localise to the periphery of the nucleus.
In newly eclosed cuffWM25/cuffKG05951 females, highly branched fusomes are observed in regions 1 and 2 of the germaria (as occurs in wild-type females). However, as the mutant females age, there is a sharp increase in the number of germaria without cysts that contain highly branched fusomes; 1 week after eclosion, 54% of the germaria do not have highly branched fusomes and 2 weeks after eclosion, 83% of the germaria do not have highly branched fusomes in the mutant females. The mutant cysts in older female appear to arrest in early stages in the germaria containing spectrosome-like structures. In addition, the overall morphology of germline cysts in region 2b and/or region 3 of the germaria is also disrupted in cuffWM25/cuffKG05951 females; 1 week after eclosion, 72% of the germaria do not have cysts of normal morphology and 2 weeks after eclosion, 84% of the germaria do not have cysts of normal morphology.
Absence of egg chambers or degeneration of early egg chambers.
cuffWM25/cuff[+] is an enhancer of abnormal meiotic cell cycle phenotype of RanGAPSd
cuffWM25/cuffQQ37 has egg chorion phenotype, suppressible | partially by lokunspecified
cuffWM25 has egg chorion phenotype, suppressible by lokunspecified
cuffWM25 has female fusome phenotype, suppressible by lokunspecified
cuffWM25 has female germline cyst phenotype, suppressible by lokunspecified
The segregation distortion seen in males carrying either the SD-5star or SD-LosArenos Dp(2;2)RanGAPSD chromosome variant (in a sensitive Rsp background) is enhanced (the k[[c]] value, or proportion of Dp(2;2)RanGAPSD-bearing progeny as the fraction of total progeny (corrected for viability), is significantly increased) if the males are also carrying a single copy of cuffWM25.
The ventralised phenotype seen in eggs derived from cuffWM25 and cuffWM25/cuffQQ37 females is partially suppressed by lokunspecified. The defects in germline cyst development seen in cuffWM25 females are partially suppressed by lokunspecified; many highly branched fusomes are seen in the double mutant germaria.
