A 7bp lesion in the 5' region of the HP1e coding sequence.
Deletion of 7 bp leads to a frameshift after aa19 and early translaton termination after the addition of 7 novel amino acids.
Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI/HP1enull is a non-suppressor of embryo | embryonic stage 1 phenotype of Hira185b
HP1enull is rescued by HP1erescue
HP1enull is not rescued by Scer\GAL4nanos.PG/HP1eUASp.cLa
Expression of HP1erescue rescues the male sterility seen in HP1enull mutant males.
Crossing to females expressing HP1eScer\UAS.P\T.cLa during oogenesis under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.PG does not suppress the mitotic arrest phenotype seen when HP1enull mutant males are crossed to wild type females.
