Mutated His3 gene (amino acid replacement K122Q, to mimic acetylation) in the context of a histone gene repeat unit.
His3HisGU.K122Q partially rescues Df(2L)HisC
12 copies of a histone repeat unit containing the His3HisGU.K122Q mutation (flies contain 4 copies of PBac{3xHisGU.H3K122Q}) partially rescue the embryonic lethality of Df(2L)HisC homozygotes. The resulting animals show lethality at the third larval instar stage.
12 copies of a histone repeat unit containing the His3HisGU.K122Q mutation (flies contain 4 copies of PBac{3xHisGU.H3K122Q}) rescue the severe growth defect seen in homozygous Df(2L)HisC clones in the wing disc.
