The mutated residue C98 is perfectly conserved in homologs from S. cerevisiae to H. sapiens, in a region of the protein that is almost perfectly conserved, and that is thought to be required for deacetylase activity. Lesions in HDAC1303 and HDAC1328, which were independently isolated, are identical.
Amino acid replacement: C98Y.

Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
Strong suppressor of PEV in In(1)wm4. Raises the pigment levels of In(1)wm4 eyes from 5-15% of wild type levels to 60-90% of wild type levels. Significant suppressor of PEV in T(2;3)SbV. Significant suppressor of PEV in In(2R)bwVDe2 in females. In males the effect is slight, being, if anything, an enhancement of the PEV. Some adult male flies of the genotype Rpd304556/Rpd3328 do eclose but survive only a few days. They show very strong suppression of PEV. Recessive lethality acts equally in the third larval instar or during pupation. Shows a dominant semi-lethal effect on males: viability 78% of expected.
Dominant suppressor of position effect variegation in eye pigment caused by In(1)wm4 or In(2R)bwVDe2. Dominant suppressor of position effect variegation at the Sb locus caused by T(2;3)SbV. The suppressor effect on the variegation caused by In(1)wm4 is substantially reduced or eliminated entirely in male XO flies lacking a Y chromosome. The suppressor effect is also reduced by maintaining flies at 29oC. Rpd3326/Rpd3328 heterozygotes are inviable, suggesting the two mutations are allelic.
