mus305D1/mus305D2 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.
Flies are sensitive to X rays.
Sterile.
Hypersensitive to methyl methanesulfonate. Sensitive to 0.008% HN2. Homozygous females show an increased frequency of chromosome loss.
Larval survival hypersensitive to exposure to X rays (Oliveri, Harris and Boyd, 1990), methyl methanesulfonate and nitrogen mustard. Homozygous females display elevated rates of nondisjunction.
