DISCUSSION280

281

SincethediscoverythatMinutesaremutantsforRps,aprevailinghypothesis(the“balancehypothesis”)282

hasbeenthattheirdevelopmentalphenotypesresultfromanimbalanceofcytoplasmicribosomalprotein283

concentrationsleadingtoincompleteribosomalsubunitassemblyandreducedoveralltranslation284

(Marygoldetal.,2007).However,ourdataindicatethatdespiteallcellsinaMinuteanimalbeing285

heterozygousforanRpgene,thisdoesnotresultinawhole-bodydecreaseinribosomenumbersorprotein286

synthesis.Rather,thedevelopmentaldelayphenotypesinMinuteanimalslikelyresultfrommoreselective287

effectsofRploss.Hereweidentify5-HTneuronsasoneimportantcell-typeinwhichRpfunctionis288

requiredforproperlarvaldevelopmentaltiming.289

290

InterestinglywefoundthattheeffectofRpS13in5-HTneuronscouldaccountfor30-40%ofthetotal291

developmentaldelayinrps13/+animals.ThissuggeststhatRpS13containingribosomesmaybeplaying292

rpS3/+animalscanpartiallyreversetheirlarvaldevelopmentaldelay(Akaietal.,2021).Onepossibility,297

therefore,isthatRpfunctioninacombinationoftissuesisrequiredforproperendocrinecontrolof298
