Genomic fragment that encompasses Pkd2 (includes approximately 1kb of 5' flanking sequence). A D627V amino acid replacement has been introduced into the coding sequence.

D627V | Pkd2-PA
D627V
Analogous mutation in human PKD2 implicated in polycystic kidney disease 2; mutation carried on in vitro construct; site of nucleotide substitution in fly gene inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change.
Pkd2D627V.t1kb/Pkd2+t1kb rescues Pkd21
Pkd2D627V.t1kb partially rescues Pkd21
Pkd2D627V.t1kb fails to rescue Pkd21
The almost complete male sterility observed in Pkd21/Pkd21 mutants is very slightly but significantly improved by combination with Pkd2D627V.t1kb.
The presence of Pkd2D627V.t1kb is unable to rescue the sperm storage phenotype found in females mated with Pkd21 mutant males.
Pkd21 mutant male sterility can be rescued upon expression of both Pkd2+t1kb and Pkd2D627V.t1kb.
