SherpaG5486 mutant flies are viable and fertile and have no external morphological defects.
SherpaG5486 mutant flies how increased susceptibility to infection with some gram positive bacteria (S. saprophyticus and E.faecalis) compared with controls. Response to infection to gram-negative bacteria (Erwinia carotovora carotovora 15 (Ecc15)) is normal.
Herc4G5486 is a suppressor of visible phenotype of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, cindrRNAi.PC.PD.UAS
Herc4G5486 is a suppressor of eye phenotype of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, cindrRNAi.PC.PD.UAS
Excision of the P-element in P{EP}SherpaG5486 results in flies to express a normal amount of Sherpa mRNA.
