A small deletion of 13 nucleotides in the first half of Pus7 (basepair 600 to 612 in the genome region chr3L:8 ,510,003-8,513,007 (release 6)), which leads to an early frame-shift and a premature stop codon.
A 13bp deletion in the first third of Pus7 leads to a frameshift and early translation termination.
Pus7fs/+, Pus7fs/Pus7fs and Pus7fs/Df(3L)BSC157 adults have significantly increased overall activity, compared to controls; homozygotes and Pus7fs/Df(3L)BSC157 adults have significantly increased angular deviation, resulting in more erratic 15 minute walking paths, compared to controls; Pus7fs/Pus7fs males spend significantly more time engaging in aggressive behavior overall, although no single behavior type is significantly increased, when individually paired with a wild-type control male, compared to these control males; Pus7fs/Pus7fs males tend to win fights against wild-type controls.
