Su(var)2054 partially suppresses the abdominal body or eye pigmentation variegation induced by P{SUPor-P}KV00135, P{SUPor-P}KV00108 or P{SUPor-P}KV00590.
In Su(var)2054/Su(var)2055 homozygous larvae, neuroblasts exhibit telomeric fusions, particularly in autosomes.
Severe neuroblast loss is seen in the brains of Su(var)2054/Su(var)2055 mutant larvae. Many of the remaining neuroblasts exhibit necrosis markers, including aggregation of mitochondria and the presence of ubiquitin-conjugated protein aggregates.
Su(var)2054 suppresses the position effect variegation of the w gene that is seen in the P{hsp26-pt-T}Dyrk3118E-15 insertion.
One copy of Su(var)2054 strongly suppresses position effect variegation (PEV) at the w locus caused by In(1)wm4.
One copy of Su(var)2054 is unable to suppress the telomeric position effect (TPE) in stocks carrying a variegating P{hsp26-pt-T}39C-5 insertion at the telomere of the left arm of chromosome two.
Polytene chromosomes of Su(var)2054/Su(var)2055 larvae partly lose the distinct pattern of band-interband regions, especially in the male X chromosome.
Su(var)2052/Su(var)2054 mutant third instar larvae have melanotic nodules.
The X chromosome is bloated in polytene chromosome squashes from male Su(var)2054/Su(var)2055 third instar larvae.
Larval imaginal discs of Su(var)2054/Su(var)2055 mutants exhibit extensive apoptosis. Telomeres in Su(var)2054 heterozygous strains are elongated with respect to the wild-type phenotype. In comparison with wild-type telomeres, the telomeres from Su(var)2054 heterozygous strains show an increase in HeT-A sequences and a terminal addition of TART-element sequences. Multiple telomere fusions are seen in metaphase neuroblasts of Su(var)2054/Su(var)2055 larvae.
Su(var)2054 has no effect on the telomeric position effect (TPE) of P{hsp26-pt-T}39C-5 or P{hsp26-pt-T}39C-27.
Su(var)2054/Su(var)2055 larval mitotic chromosomes show telomeric fusions.
Neuroblasts in the brain of Su(var)2051/Su(var)2054 or Su(var)2054/Su(var)2055 larvae show a high frequency of abnormal metaphase configurations, including telomere-telomere fusions. The imaginal discs of Su(var)2054/Su(var)2055 larvae are reduced in size. Abnormal metaphase configurations showing telomeric fusions are seen in imaginal disc cells. Abnormal meiotic chromosomes are seen in the male germline.
Homozygous embryos are found to be mostly devoid of intact nuclei. Any remaining nuclei have defects in chromosome segregation and abnormal morphology (chromatin bridges, chromosome lagging during anaphase and under- or over-condensed nuclei). Mitotic synchrony is lost in a high proportion of embryos and defective nuclei are seen beneath the normal plane of nuclei, they appear to be falling into the interior of the embryo.
mod(mdg4)neo129 suppresses the strong dominant suppressor effect.

peo1, Su(var)2054 double heterozygosity leads to telomeric fusions in larval neuroblasts.
Expression of fzyScer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4wor.PA suppresses the neuroblast loss seen in Su(var)2054/Su(var)2055 mutant larval brains. However, these surviving neuroblasts display phenotypes indicative of mitotic catastrophe including multinucleation and enlargement of cell diameter.

When P{P-Sal}89D is present, the w gene of the P{lacW}ciDplac insertion variegates, resulting (in a w- background) in an eye that is mostly white with a few patches of red ommatidia. This P-element-dependent silencing of P{lacW}ciDplac is not dominantly suppressed by Su(var)2054.

The abnormal metaphase configurations seen in the brains of Su(var)2054/Su(var)2055 larvae are partly rescued by expression of Su(var)205hs.PE, although a high frequency of chromosome aberrations are seen.
Lethality is rescued by expression of the heat shock activated Su(var)205 construct. Rescued adults behave lethargically, walk slowly and never fly, and die several days after eclosion.
