H187Y
Same mutation as psh1
psh4 mutants show significantly increased mortality upon infection with the Gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecalis (wild type or the protease-deficient strain TX5128), with the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus or with the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, but not with the Gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecium, as compared to controls.
psh4 mutant flies show comparable levels of mortality to wild type in response to mild wounding in 7-8 day old adults.
Mutant flies show reduced survival compared to wild-type controls after natural infection with B. bassiana.
psh4 is an enhancer of abnormal immune response | recessive phenotype of grassHerrade
psh4 is a suppressor of short lived phenotype of nec1/nec2
Flies doubly mutant for grassHerrade and psh4 are more susceptible to infection by both fungi and Gram-positive bacteria than any of the single mutants.
Selected as: a suppressor of the nec mutant phenotype.
