Amino acid replacement: P385L.
Nucleotide substitution: C1574T. Amino acid replacement: P385L.

P385L
Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
Male lethal at the late third instar to early pupal stage. Homozygous female larvae are viable.
Mutant phenotype can be rescued by P element mediated transformation of a wild type mle gene copy.
Single amino acid change is responsible for the mutant phenotype: transgenic copy (P{HA-RK}) fails to bind to the X chromosome or to complement mle mutants.
