Mutant His3 gene (K27A) in the context of a histone gene repeat tandem array.
leg, with Df(2L)HisC
wing, with Df(2L)HisC
Expression of a transgene bearing 8 copies of a mutated form of the histone repeat unit (PBac{8xHisTA.H3K27A} - comprised of 8xHis3HisTA.H3K27A and 8x wild type copies of His1HisTA.wt, His2AHisTA.wt, His2BHisTA.wt and His3HisTA.wt) in a wild type background results in several dominant phenotypes, including decreased viability and diminished fertility. Ectopic sex combs are seen at low frequency. A hemizygous Df(2L)HisC background enhances these phenotypes, and also results in new phenotypes including aberrant leg and wing morphogenesis.
His3HisTA.H3K27A is an enhancer of visible | dominant phenotype of Pc15
His3HisTA.H3K27A has sex comb | ectopic phenotype, enhanceable by Pc[+]/Pc15
His3HisTA.H3K27A is an enhancer of sex comb | ectopic phenotype of Pc15
Expression of a transgene bearing 8 copies of a mutated form of the histone repeat unit (PBac{8xHisTA.H3K27A} - comprised of 8xHis3HisTA.H3K27A and 8x wild type copies of His1HisTA.wt, His2AHisTA.wt, His2BHisTA.wt and His3HisTA.wt) in a Pc15/+ background enhances the ectopic sex comb phenotype seen in either mutant alone.
