Inversion breakpoint within the coding region.
Females carrying homozygous follicle cell clones can produce round eggs.
The planar organisation of basal actin filaments in the follicle cell epithelium at oogenesis stage 7 is disrupted in when the follicle epithelium is primarily composed of homozygous cells, such that the filaments no longer align perpendicular to the anterior-posterior axis. Stage 10 egg chambers containing homozygous follicle cell clones are often shorter and rounder than normal.
2% of msn172 mutant embryos display an anterior dorsal hole, 38% complete dorsal closure but show misalignment of segments and 12% show embryonic lethality without obvious defects during dorsal closure. msn172 embryos show intermittent breaks in the actin distribution at the epithelial margin, typically affecting groups of 2-4 cells. Affected cells are wider and less elongated than neighboring cells with normal actin localization. 30% of the embryos display segment misalignments during the final phase of dorsal closure. The segment misalignment defect is typically accompanied by unusual irregularities in the width of segments during the closure process. Some segments appear abnormally wide, while neighboring segments are excessively constricted.
In msn172 somatic clones in the eye ommatidia often have malformed or missing photoreceptors. Those ommatidia that have the normal complement of photoreceptors are often misrotated and display the wrong chiral form or are symmetrical. In mosaic photoreceptor R3/R4 pairs, the msn+ photoreceptor has a strong preference for adopting the R3 fate. This can often lead to chirality inversions where the msn+ R4 precursor adopts the R3 position displacing the msn172 R3 precursor. The mosaic analysis also showed that for correct 90o rotation there is no bias for any particular photoreceptor.
Clones in the eye are externally rough. They contain elongated rhabdomeres and some ommatidia also contain missing or an extra photoreceptor. Eggs from germline clones are never laid.
