Hmr1 suppresses hybrid male lethality of hybrid sons of crosses between D.melanogaster females and D.mauritiana males. This hybrid rescue is not suppressed if the hybrids also carry Dsim\Hmr+t8.6 or Dmau\Hmr+t9.4.
Essentially no rescue of fertility is seen in female hybrids derived from a cross of Hmr1 D.melanogaster females mated to D.simulans males.
Hybrid daughters from a cross of D.melanogaster females to D.simulans or D.sechellia males are poorly viable at high temperatures. This female lethality is suppressed by D.melanogaster Hmr1, although rescue is partial at 29oC. Hybrid males from a cross of D.melanogaster females to D.simulans males are not viable. This male lethality is rescued by D.melanogaster Hmr1 at 18oC but not at 27oC. Hybrid males from a cross of D.melanogaster females to D.sechellia males are not viable. D.melanogaster Hmr1 shows low rescue of this male lethality at 18oC and no rescue at higher temperatures. Hybrid daughters (from a cross of D.melanogaster females to D.simulans males) that carry two D.melanogaster X chromosomes are lethal. This lethality is partially suppressed by one copy of D.melanogaster Hmr1. Hybrid daughters (from a cross of D.melanogaster females to D.mauritiana males) that carry two D.melanogaster X chromosomes are lethal. This lethality is not suppressed by one copy of D.melanogaster Hmr1. Hybrid females from a cross of D.simulans females to D.melanogaster males are poorly viable. The lethality of these hybrids (which is embryonic) is rescued by D.simulans Dsim\mhr1. These rescued hybrids also show postembryonic lethality at 25oC. This postembryonic lethality is suppressed by D.melanogaster Hmr1.
Hmr1 rescues D.melanogaster/D.mauritiana hybrid males (derived from a cross of D.melanogaster females to D.mauritiana males) that would normally be inviable. Hmr1 weakly rescues (in some genetic backgrounds) D.melanogaster/D.simulans hybrid males (derived from a cross of D.melanogaster females to D.simulans males) that would normally be inviable.
Hmr1 rescues hybrid males from a cross between D.melanogaster Hmr1 females and D.mauritiana males. The frequency of spontaneous chromosome loss is similar to that seen in a cross between D.melanogaster Hmr+ females and D.mauritiana males. Hmr1 rescues the mitotic chromosome decondensation defect seen in the larval brain neuroblasts of male hybrids produced from a cross between D.melanogaster females and D.mauritiana males.
Hemizygous males, homozygous females and Hmr1/Df(1)HC133 females are indistinguishable from wild-type flies in their appearance, viability and fertility. This allele rescues hybrid males (that would otherwise die) from a cross of D.melanogaster females to either D.simulans, D.mauritiana or D.sechellia males. Hybrid males (produced from a cross between D.melanogaster females and D.mauritiana males) are not rescued by a duplication thought to carry Hmr+ (Dp(1;2)v+75d), so the rescue is considered to be recessive. Inviable female hybrids from crosses of compound-X D.melanogaster females to either D.simulans, D.mauritiana or D.sechellia males are also rescued. This rescue is also recessive, since a compound-X chromosome heterozygous for Hmr1 does not rescue.
Rescues D.melanogaster/simulans hybrid males that would otherwise be inviable. These hybrids are sterile. It has no effect on the low viability of hybrid females from a cross of D.simulans females to D.melanogaster males. Hybrids from crosses of D.melanogaster females to either D.mauritiana or D.sechellia males that would be otherwise inviable are also rescued. The rescue of D.melanogaster/simulans and D.melanogaster/mauritiana males is almost complete at 18oC. The rescue of D.melanogaster/mauritiana males is good at 25oC but not at 29oC. The rescue of D.melanogaster/simulans males is severely depressed at 25oC. Only one third of D.melanogaster/sechellia males survive to adulthood at 18oC. The temperature-sensitive period for hybrid rescue is in the second larval instar.

Hmr1 suppresses hybrid male lethality of hybrid sons of crosses between D.melanogaster females and D.mauritiana males. This hybrid rescue is not suppressed if the hybrids also carry Dsim\Hmr+t8.6 or Dmau\Hmr+t9.4.
The hybrid male rescue activity of Hmr1 is not suppressed by Rab9Dtp72 or CG2124tp72.
The hybrid rescue by Hmr1 of the male progeny of D.melanogaster females crossed to D.mauritiana males is not suppressed by P{Ant2+sesB+10.3}.
Hybrid Hmr1 males (progeny of Hmr1 Dsim\LhrT:Ivir\HA1 D. melanogaster females mated to D. mauritiana males) carrying Dsim\LhrT:Ivir\HA1 are essentially inviable at room temperature and show strongly reduced viability (compared to hybrid Hmr1 males not carrying Dsim\LhrT:Ivir\HA1) at 18[o]C.

LhrT:Ivir\HA1 reduces the viability of hybrid Hmr1 males (progeny of Hmr1 LhrT:Ivir\HA1 D. melanogaster females mated to either D. simulans or D. mauritiana males).
Rescue of D.simulans-D.melanogaster hybrids by the Hmr1 mutation is suppressed by expression of Dsim\LhrScer\UAS.cBa under the control of Scer\GAL4unspecified.

In Hmr1 flies, the Rab9D gene contains five nucleotide changes, which lead to four amino acid substitutions.
