P{lacW} insertion in the 5' untranslated region.
mblchst/mblk05507b females show reduced sexual receptivity compared to controls.
Mutant clones in the eye exhibit phenotypic defects in many mutant ommatidia, the rhabdomeres of up to 4 outer photoreceptors have a smaller diameter resembling the rhabdomeres of receptor cell R7. All photoreceptors could be affected with malformed rhabdomeres that frequently do not extend into basal regions of the retina.
mblk05507b is a suppressor of visible phenotype of svp2.sev
mblk05507b is a suppressor of phenotype of JraAsp.hs.sev
mblk05507b is a suppressor of eye photoreceptor cell phenotype of svp2.sev
Fails to complement the reduced female sexual receptivity phenotype of mblchst.
mblk05507b fails to complement the lethality of mblchst-exC3, mblE27, mblE127, mblchst-exC45, mblchst-exC110 and mblchst-exS31.

Mobilisation of the P{lacW} insertion results in homozygous viable flies that have also lost their ability to suppress svp2.sev.
