PolQpol-dead is a non-suppressor of radiation sensitive | third instar larval stage phenotype of Df(3R)PolQΔ, spn-A093A/spn-A3
The hypersensitivity of Df(3R)mus308Δ/Df(3R)mus308Δ;spn-A3/spn-A093A double mutant third instar larvae to ionizing radiation is not rescued by combination with mus308pol-dead.
Similarly, the Df(3R)mus308Δ/Df(3R)mus308Δ;spn-A3/spn-A093A mutants show a significant reduction in the frequency of end joining repair events in a P{hsw[a]}-excision repair assay and this also cannot be rescued mus308pol-dead.
