Transheterozygote combinations with other syt alleles are lethal.
Gelbart and Sekelsky.
Isolated on basis of failure to complement Df(2L)DTD2. A few adults survive in transheterozygous combinations between sytT11, sytT77 and syt66.4. The syt alleles form a series: going from most severe to least severe, sytN19 = sytN6 >= sytT7 = sytT41 > sytT77 = syt66.4 > sytT11.
Mutant phenotype cannot be rescued when homozygous but can when in trans to sytN6 by sytelav.PD.
