Mutant males do not show genital rotation defects.
Heterozygous larvae show increased resistance to Methoprene compared to wild-type.
Flies are methoprene-resistant.
MetK17 is a suppressor of male genitalia phenotype of Fas2spin
The genital rotation defects seen in Fas2spin males are completely suppressed by Rst(1)JHK17.

Mutation is revertable to wild type (methoprene-susceptible) at high frequency.
