Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Embryos derived from mus309D2/mus309D3 and mus309N1/mus309D3 females have an extremely low hatch rate.

mus309D2/mus309D3 larvae are hypersensitive to gamma radiation, showing reduced survival to adulthood after irradiation with doses of radiation that do not have a large effect on the survival of wild-type larvae.

Studies of excision and repair events of P{hswa} in homozygous, mus309D2/mus309D3 and mus309N2/mus309D3 males indicate that synthesis-dependent strand annealing (SDSA) is severely compromised in these animals. SDSA is also compromised in mus309D3/+ males.

mus309D2/mus309D3 males show elevated rates of mitotic crossing over compared to control males.

mus309D2/mus309D3 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.

BlmD2/BlmD3 flies are semilethal.

The complete copia element in wa.hs has an LTR at each end. Following excision of P{hswa}, repair by SDSA (synthesis-dependent strand annealing) can lead to excision of this copia element due to annealing at these LTRs, resulting in red eyed progeny. Incomplete SDSA, where joining has occurred independently of annealing of homologous ends, can delete parts of the w ORF in wa.hs resulting in yellow eyed progeny. The frequency of red eyed progeny following excision of P{hswa}sdwa using H{PΔ2-3}HoP2.1 (and therefore of complete SDSA) is decreased from 6% to 0.2% in a mus309D2/mus309D3 background, but the frequency of yellow eyed progeny (and therefore of incomplete SDSA) is increased from 10% to 15.5%. This background also increases the proportion of hemizygous lethal sd deletions resulting from this excision event (from 2.4% to 25%), and the proportion of non-lethal sd deletions from 7% to 35.5%.

mus309D3/Df(3R)T-7 animals are sensitive to methyl methanesulfonate.

mus309D2/mus309D3 animals show no defects in a DNA damage checkpoint assay.

mus309D2/mus309D3 mutants are threefold more sensitive to X rays than wild-type flies.

Unable to repair double-strand DNA breaks. Hypersensitive to methyl methanesulfonate (MMS).

spn-A3/spn-A093A suppresses the increase deletions resulting from the H{PΔ2-3}HoP2.1 driven of excision of P{hswa}sdwa due to a mus309D2/mus309D3 background.

okr17-11/okrA19-10 mus309D2/mus309D3 double mutants show a synergistic effect on sensitivity to X rays; the sensitivity is increased 40 fold compared to wild-type in double mutants. mus309D2/mus309D3 mutants are slightly sensitive to methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). okr17-11/okrA19-10 mus309D2/mus309D3 double mutants do not show a synergistic effect on sensitivity to MMS.
