 | | The three rows gene of Drosophila melanogaster encodes a novel protein that is required for chromosome disjunction during mitosis.Mitotic defects in thr mutant embryos begin during mitosis 15, and all subsequent divisions are disrupted. |
 | | Chromosome disjunction and consequently cytokinesis fail during these defective mitoses, although the initial mitotic processes (chromosome condensation, spindle assembly, metaphase plate formation, and cyclin degradation) are not affected. |
 | | These observations, together with the observation that the zygotic phenotype of thr mutant embryos is influenced by the maternal genotype, suggest that the embryonic phenotype results from exhaustion of the maternal thr contribution and does not reflect a developmentally restricted requirement for thr function. |
