Reduction of CAPR and dFMRP function specifically disrupts timing of the MBT. The length of interphase (black line) and mitosis (black box) for nuclear cycles (NC) 10-14 for Drosophila embryos derived from females of the indicated genotypes. Elapsed times (minutes ± s.d.) and number of embryos analyzed (n) are indicated beneath the line that represents each genotype. Note the precocious mitosis of embryos from Capr², +/Df, dfmr1³ females at 18.9 minutes into interphase of NC14. Minor differences noted in NC12 and NC13 interphase and mitosis lengths produced no net change in overall cycle length.
