Nucleotide substitution: G?A.
This mutation is within the putative kinase domain of the expressed protein.
Amino acid replacement: G19R.
Amino acid replacement: G19D.
The amino acid replacement, caused by a point mutation, is found in the kinase domain of ik2.

Apoptosis occurs normally in l(2)38Ea46 and l(2)38Ea46/l(2)38Ea66 embryos.
At low temperature and in uncrowded culture conditions, rare escaper ik23 adults (<1%) are observed, but they die shortly after eclosion. These escapers often exhibit abnormal bristles, both the interommatidial and the humeral bristles are affected. At high magnification, the actin footprints along the length of the bristle shaft in ik23 escaper adult eyes appears less organised than those in wild-type bristles. In wild-type, interommatidial bristles are found at alternating vertices, whereas in ik23 mutants these bristles are often duplicated at a single vertex and are misshapen and kinked.
l(2)38Ea46 suppresses the eye ablation phenotype of flies that express rprGMR.PH.
