Flies are sensitive to X rays.
Displays hypermutability to alkylating agents; defective both in alkylation and UV excision repair pathways.
Cells derived from homozygous embryos have a reduced ability to synthesise DNA after UV irradiation compared to wild-type cells. Homozygous larval brain ganglia have a reduced ability to synthesise DNA both from an undamaged template and after exposure to N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene compared to wild-type.
Sensitive to 0.025% methyl methanesulfonate. Not sensitive to 0.008% HN2.
Homozygotes have normal excision repair capabilities, but postreplication repair is reduced compared to wild-type. Homozygous cultured cells respond to UV irradiation with unusually low thymidine incorporation and with the synthesis of abnormally short nascent DNA.
mus310D1 has no detectable effect on the recovery of chromosomes undergoing P-element transposition.
