msl-2[+]/msl-21 is an enhancer | maternal effect of partially lethal - majority die | dominant | female phenotype of scsisB-1, sisA[+]/sisA1
Sxl[+]/SxlfP7B0, msl-21 has partially lethal - majority die | female | maternal effect phenotype
Sxlf1, msl-21 has abnormal sex-determination | dominant | female phenotype
Sxlf1, msl-21 has abnormal sex-determination | female phenotype
Sxlf1, msl-21 has prothoracic metatarsus | female phenotype
The viability of SxlfP7B0/+ females is significantly reduced if they also carry one maternally-derived copy of msl-21.
One maternally-derived copy of msl-21 significantly reduces the viability of scsisB-1 sisA1/+ females so that they show almost complete lethality. One paternally-derived copy of msl-21 significantly reduces the viability of scsisB-1 sisA1/+ females, although this zygotic effect is generally weaker than the maternal one.
msl-21 is partially rescued by msl-2hs.Venus
msl-21 homozygous males carrying msl-2hs.T:Avic\GFP-Venus show a survival rate of 60% at 25[o]C.
Belote.
Clonal analysis indicates that msl-2 acts in a cell autonomous manner, and is required in imaginal discs and histoblasts at some time after blastoderm formation in males. The requirement in the imaginal discs is late in development, during mid to late third instar. Clonal analysis also shows that the msl-2 mutation does not affect sexual differentiation.
H4Ac16, acetylated form of His4, is not localised to the X chromosome in male salivary gland nuclei.
γ ray induced revertants of msl-21 are cytologically normal.
