The serine at amino acid 266 of HtrA2 in HtrA2+t1.97 has been mutated to alanine.
HtrA21.97.S266A partially rescues HtrA2IFD/Df(3R)HtrA2Df1
Expression of two copies of HtrA21.97.S266A partially rescues the spermatogonial cyst death seen in HtrA2IFD/Df(3R)HtrA2Df1 mutant flies. The amount of germline cell death is restored to approximately 60% of wild type levels. The male sterility defect is also slightly rescued.
