One copy of Su(var)2-1210-1 strongly suppresses position effect variegation (PEV) at the w locus caused by In(1)wm4.

One copy of Su(var)2-1210-1 is unable to suppress the telomeric position effect (TPE) in stocks carrying a variegating P{hsp26-pt-T}39C-5 insertion at the telomere of the left arm of chromosome two.

Dominantly suppresses position effect variegation (PEV) at the w locus caused by In(1)wm4, PEV at the bw locus caused by In(2R)bwVDe2 and PEV at the B locus caused by Dp(1;Y)BSCV.

No maternal effects seen in w+ eye pigment levels in non-suppressor bearing offspring of Su(var)2-1 females. Removal of segments of heterochromatin from the genome by loss of the Y chromosome abolishes the suppression of the position effect variegation phenotype. The extent of hemizygous lethality is dramatically enhanced in the presence of extra heterochromatin (attachedXX/Y females) whereas the lethality did not occur in the absence of the Y (X/O males). The effect of the Su(var)2-1210-1 allele is slightly reduced in heterozygotes with Df(2R)M41A10 (which lacks 2R heterochromatin).

Does not enhance variegation at the lt locus.

Su(var)2-1210-1; Dp(2;2)Mdh3 double mutants display reductions in eye pigmentation.

Dominant suppressor of position effect variegation at the w locus caused by In(1)wm4.
