Amino acid replacement: I460T.
An insertion of 433 bp corresponding to a roo LTR, including a duplication of a 5-bp insert sequence, in the fifth exon of mah. This is linked to a nonsynonymous T>C substitution at 3R:24949334 (r6) causing an I460T change, if that position were transcribed and translated in the presence of the roo LTR element.
Nucleotide substitution: T24949334C.

mah1 homozygous adults display eye color defects ('mahogany' eye color).
Eyes contain 77% normal red pigment and 102% normal brown pigment.
Malpighian tubule colour: wild-type.
Eye colour: translucent brown in young flies, changing toward wild type and becoming dark brown with age.
mah1 is rescued by mahUAS.cGa/Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
The eye color defect ('mahogany' eyes) characteristic for mah1 homozygous adults is rescued by expression of mahUAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.
