Deletion of nucleotides 5578-5590. This results in a frameshift starting at amino acid residue 1578 and a premature stop codon (QQQQR to HGMLTstop).
A 13 bp deletion (reported a nucleotides 5578-5590) leads to a frameshift at amino acid 1578 of trx-PA and early translation termination after the addition of four novel amino acids.
trxR1578mut homozygotes and trxR1578mut/trxS2582b transheterozygotes are lethal; trxR1578mut/trxS2582a transheterozygotes are near lethal.
trxR1578mut is a dominant enhancer of eye pigment variegation observed in the E1 (combination of gypsy{}ci-E1, P{lacW}Dplac) and Pci (P{lacW}Dplac) backgrounds; in a P{lacW}3-76a background, however, only females show significant eye pigmentation silencing.
trxS2582a is a male-only dominant suppressor of the eye pigment variegation observed in the In(1)wm4 background.
P{lacW}Dplac, trxAM1 has enhancer of variegation | dominant phenotype, enhanceable by ash1AM5/ash1[+]
trxAM1/trx[+] is an enhancer of enhancer of variegation | dominant phenotype of P{lacW}Dplac, ash1AM5
ash1AM3, trxAM1/trx[+] has partially lethal - majority live phenotype
ash1AM4, trxAM1/trx[+] has partially lethal - majority live phenotype
ash1AM1, trxAM1/trx[+] has partially lethal - majority live phenotype
The following double heterozygotes are semi-viable compared to controls: ash1W790term/+, trxR1578mut/+; ash1Q893term/+, trxR1578mut/+; and ash1N303mut/+, trxR1578mut/+. The following double heterozygotes are viable: ash1H1873W/+, trxR1578mut/+; and ash1W770mut/+, trxR1578mut/+.
ash1H1873W/+, trxR1578mut/+ double heterozygotes show a dominant enhancer of eye pigment variegation phenotype which is more severe than either single heterozygote.
