2 copies of schb.PP cause male lethality.
Causes male specific lethality and activates ectopic Sxl expression in the anterior of male embryos (Parkhurst et al., Cell 63: 1179--1191.)
Female viability is unaffected. Head morphology of males is defective.

Expression of hhb.PP can rescue male lethality caused by schb.PP. Deletion of the bHLH and orange domains of h render it unable to rescue male lethality, the WRPW domain is not required for rescue. Expression of E(spl)hb.PD cannot rescue male lethality caused by schb.PP.
Expression of Xlae\hhb.PD can rescue male lethality caused by schb.PP.
