Statement
Reference
Single base change that causes the replacement of Lys with Met.
Point mutation.
Amino acid replacement: K425M. Amino acid replacement: S496A. S496A is also found in wild type flies.
Comparison between the sequences of z+ and za shows many polymorphisms concentrated in the middle, repetitive part of the gene (Pirrotta, Manet, Hardon, Bickel and Benson, 1987). There are no changes in the 5' flanking region or in the untranslated leader. Most of the changes do not affect the predicted amino acid sequence since they are in the introns or in the third position of the codons; the change from A to T (Lys to Met in the middle repetitive part of the protein) is believed to have an important effect on the properties of the mutant product (Pirrotta, Manet, Hardon, Bickel and Benson, 1987).

Su(z)2[4-31] suppresses the eye colour phenotype of z[1], and Su(z)2[4-34] is a weak suppressor of the eye colour phenotype of z[1].
z[1] partially suppresses the wing phenotypes seen in ap[56f]/Df(2R)DG mutant flies. z[1] does not enhance the mild wing phenotypes seen in ap[UGO35]/Df(2R)DG mutant flies.
g53d, za double mutants have a reduced amount of red pigment in the eye compared to g53d single mutants in both male and female flies. The same is true for g50e and g2 alleles. Male E(z)1/+, g53d, z1 triple mutants have less red pigment in the eye than g53d, z1 double mutants. Likewise, female E(z)1/+, g53d/+, z1/+ triple mutants have a reduction in red eye pigment compared to g53d/+, z1/+ double mutants.
The average number of sex comb teeth per first leg in ScrTpl9 heterozygous males (in which the haplolethality of the Df(3R)Tpl9 chromosome has been rescued by Dp(3;3)Dfdrv1) is not affected if they are also carrying z1. The average number of sex comb teeth per first leg in ScrTpl9/ScrAntp-A41 males (in which the haplolethality of the Df(3R)Tpl9 chromosome has been rescued by Dp(3;3)Dfdrv1) is not affected if they are also carrying z1. The viability and average number of sex comb teeth per first leg in ScrTpl9/ScrWrv4 males (in which the haplolethality of the Df(3R)Tpl9 chromosome has been rescued by Dp(3;3)Dfdrv1) is not affected if they are also carrying z1. The average number of ectopic sex comb teeth on the second and third legs in ScrMsc heterozygous males is not affected if they are also carrying z1.
Eye colour: small brown spots on an otherwise wild-type background in z1/Y; E(z)Trm/+ males or z1/+; E(z)Trm/+ females. Eye colour: orange-brown in z1/Y; E(z)Trm/In(3L)Ez2 males or z1/+; E(z)Trm/In(3L)Ez2 females (rescued by dissecting out of the pupal case).
Enhances the bristle loss phenotype of Tp(2;2)Sco/+ flies.
Enhances the eye colour phenotype by suppressing the transactivation of the mini-w gene seen when wMcp.y.scs'.1 and ywe.Mcp.2 are combined and when wMcp.scs'.21 and ywe.Mcp.1 are combined leading to lighter eyes.
Dominantly represses w when one of the w genes contains a tandem duplication of the regulatory region, such as Dp(1;1)wrdp+. z1 Dp(1;1)wrdp+/+ females exhibit a red-orange eye colour between that of wild type and the yellow of hemizygous z1 Dp(1;1)wrdp+ males. Supports transvection at Ubx.
Eye colour: yellow in Dp(1;1)w+61e19 male.
z1 has no effect on the mod(mdg4)ul effect on ct6.
Eye colour: fewer red/brown patches on lighter background than with z+ as z1 In(1)wm4 males and females. Eye colour: as z1 in z1 In(1)rst3 female.
Eye colour: brownish, with e(y)11 or e(y)34 in male. Eye colour: like z1, with e(y)12.
Eye colour: orange, as wis z1 males. Eye colour: orange, as wis z1/z+ females. Eye colour: yellow-white variegated as In(1)wis z1 males. Eye colour: red-orange or orange-yellow variegated as z1 In(1)wis/z1 w+ females. The phenotypic interactions with Df(YS)B4, Df(YL)S6, Df(YS)S12, Df(YL)G22, Df(YL)S10, Df(2R)M41A4, Df(2R)M41A1, Df(2R)M41A8 are seen in z1 In(1)wis; z1 In(1)wis; Su(z)2unspecified have an unaltered background level of pigmentation (white) but the yellow flecks in the eye are darkened to orange or red.

z1 mediated repression of flies carrying two to five ectopic w genes (produced using Tp(1;2)TE35B derivatives) is insensitive to copy number and does not distinguish between w genes that are in cis or in trans. Suppression does not require the juxtaposition of even numbers of w genes, but is extremely sensitive to chromosomal topology.
All iab-7 PRE pairing-sensitive lines show strong interactions with z1 when the transgene insert is heterozygous: dominant enhancement of iab-7 PRE repression.
Does not suppress transvection of UbxCbx-1/+.
Does not effect the level of w expression in ph-plac+3 flies.
Does not alter the effect of mod(mdg4)ul on y2/y+.
The phenotype of Abd-Biab7-MX2/Abd-Biab8-D14 is unaffected by alleles of z.
Expression of the mutant lemon yellow eye colour requires two proximate or paired copies of w+ Paired copies of In(1)wm4 are not repressed by z1. Repression of In(1)wm4 by z1 cannot be restored by Su(var)205. z1 In(1)rst3 combination exhibits more extreme variegation for rst than seen in z+ In(1)rst3 combination. Recessive enhancer of PEV in a fashion clearly distinguishable from standard transvection effects.
Every w+ gene must be near another w+ gene in order for the z1 phenotype to be realized.
z1 gene product in combination with structural changes imposed by transposons and intercalary heterochromatin, modifies the determination and stability of w expression.
The z1 mutation causes a new hydrophobic nucleus in the region of the protein preceding the C-terminal domain, resulting in a further stage of multimerization.
Causes a specific underexpression of w in the eye when two copies of the w gene are physically apposed by chromosome pairing or by tandem duplication. Expression of w in other tissues is not affected. Behaves like z+ in promoting transvection effects at Ubx but fails to permit transvection at the dpp locus.
Unpaired w+ alleles suppress z1 eye colour.
z1 product subliminally inhibits the complementation of dpphr4 and dppd-ho. The effect is only seen when compounded by the particular effects of rearrangements on synapsis.
This allele behaves as an antagonist of normal z function.
Allelic series: zop6 > zop11 > zRN4 > z1 > zRN1 > wild type.
Two synapsed copies of w+ are required for expression of zeste eye color.
Supports transvection at Ubx but not at dpp.
