Dna2D2/Dna2D2, Dna2D1/Dna2D2, Dna2D2/Dna2lS, Dna2D2/Df(1)BSC539, Dna2D2/Df(1)BSC754, Dna2D2/Df(1)ED6989 and Dna2D2/Df(1)ED6991 individuals show increased sensitivity to the mutagen MMS.
mus109D2 mutants have a similar frequency of single-strand annealing repair (SSA) compared to controls in a P{wIw.FRT} hemizygous assay to study DNA double-stranded break repair when assayed at 32oC or 38oC.
Sterile.
Hemizygous male larvae are not sensitive to HN2. They are sensitive to 0.08% MMS but relatively insensitive to 0.04% MMS. This phenotype is slightly stronger than that of mus109A1.
Homozygotes and hemizygotes show a higher frequency of spontaneous chromosome aberrations in neuroblast metaphases than wild-type larvae. The ratio of chromatid breaks to isochromatid breaks is 0.7-1.0. Approximately 80% of the breaks are heterochromatic. The breaks appear to be randomly distributed among the chromosomes. The frequency of breaks is the same in females and males.
Fails to complement mus109unspecified for female sterility.
