Abstract

ABSTRACT In Drosophila , mutation of the oncogene Myb reduced the expression of mitotic genes, such as polo and ial , and caused multiple mitotic defects, including disrupted chromosome condensation and abnormal spindles. We now show that binucleate cells, the hallmark phenotype of cytokinesis failure, accumulate in Myb -null ovarian follicle cell and wing disc epithelia. Myb functions as an activator in the generally repressive D rosophila R BF, E 2F2, and M yb (dREAM)/Myb-MuvB complex. Absence of the dREAM subunit Mip130 or E2F2 suppressed the Myb -null cytokinesis defect. Therefore, we used Myb -null binucleate cells as a quantitative phenotypic readout of transcriptional repression by the dREAM complex. In the absence of Myb, the complex was sensitive to the dose of the subunits E2F2, Mip120, Caf1, and Lin-52 but not Mip130 or Mip40. Surprisingly, reduction of the dose of His2Av / H2A . z also suppressed the Myb -null binucleate cell phenotype, suggesting a novel role for this variant histone in transcriptional repression by the dREAM complex.
