Nucleotide substitution: C?T.
Position of amino acid replacement is with respect to accession NP_610972. The truncation should only affect the larger isoform of Su(var)2-HP2.
Amino acid replacement: C1070term.
Metaphases from Su(var)2-HP2C1070X/Df(2R)B11 larval brains show a number of abnormalities (frequency of cells showing each phenotype is indicated in parentheses), such as abnormal chromosome condensation (28.5%), hypercondensed chromosomes (14.7%), hyperploid/polyploid cells (5.9%), chromosome breaks (5.9%) and precocious sister-chromatid segregation (7.8%).
Su(var)2-HP2C1070X/Df(2R)B11 larvae have poorly developed polytene chromosomes.
