G340E
Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
psh5 flies are highly susceptible to fungal infection (B.bassiana), but show a wild-type pattern of survival after infection with Gram-positive bacteria (E.faecalis previously known as 'Streptococcus faecalis') and are resistant to Gram-negative bacterial infection.
psh5 is a suppressor of short lived phenotype of nec1/nec2
psh5 is a non-suppressor of adult tracheal system phenotype of Scer\GAL4btl.PS, Spn77BaRNAi.WIZ.UAS
The melanisation of the adult tracheal system caused by expression of Spn77BadsRNA.WIZ.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS is not suppressed by psh5.
Selected as: a suppressor of the nec mutant phenotype.
