D173G | Mdh2-PA
D173G
Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
Mutants show defects in destruction of the larval salivary glands, having persistant larval salivary glands at the pupal stage.
Mdh22/Mdh21 is rescued by Mdh2Tag:MYC
One copy of Mdh2T:Hsap\MYC restores normal salivary gland cell death and efficiently rescues pupal lethality in Mdh21/Mdh22 animals.
