Abstract excerpt
Drosophila has four loci encoding type 1 protein serine/threonine phosphatases (PP1s). Here we describe mutations in one of these genes, at 87B on chromosome 3. Mutants die at the larval-pupal boundary with little or no imaginal cell proliferation. Neuroblasts are delayed in progress through mitosis and show defective spindle organization, abnormal sister chromatid segregation, hyperploidy, and excessive...
