BW1102 C. elegans dpy-5(e61) mei-2(ct102) unc-29(e1072) I; sDp2 (I;f). Show Description
Animals with the duplication are Unc. Animals that have lost the duplication are DpyUncMel. mei-2 is non-conditional recessive maternal effect lethal.
EU626 C. elegans rfl-1(or198) III. Show Description
Temperature sensitive maternal effect lethal mutation in F11H8.1 (Nedd8 activating enzyme). Permissive temperature is 15C, restrictive temperature is 25C. Embryos layed at restrictive temperature have spindle-orientation defects due to the mis-localization of MEI-1/MEI-2 to the mitotic spindle. Additionally, ectopic cleavage furrows are initiated during cytokinesis, and cell-cycle delays are apparent during interphase.
