Mutated His3 gene (amino acid replacement T80E, to mimic phosphorylation) in the context of a histone gene repeat unit.
His3HisGU.T80E partially rescues Df(2L)HisC
12 copies of a histone repeat unit containing the His3HisGU.T80E mutation (flies contain 4 copies of PBac{3xHisGU.H3T80E}) partially rescue the embryonic lethality of Df(2L)HisC homozygotes. The resulting flies show pupal lethality with a few adult escapers.
12 copies of a histone repeat unit containing the His3HisGU.T80E mutation (flies contain 4 copies of PBac{3xHisGU.H3T80E}) rescue the severe growth defect seen in homozygous Df(2L)HisC clones in the wing disc.
