P element insertion.
Insertion of P-element on the 5' side of the gene, at coordinate 0 (coordinates according to FBrf0042036).
A P-insertion-induced lethal hypomorphic allele with the unusual distinction of displaying a mosaic intersex phenotype in homozygous mutant diplo-X clones induced by mitotic recombination; hence, appears to be defective in the cellular maintenance of the female sexual commitment. Under dysgenic conditions, can mutate further to less extreme or to more extreme condition. Partially complements Sxlf7,M1, generating masculinized individuals; partially complements Sxlf2593, generating sterile females; fully complements Sxlf9.
SxlfPb is a non-suppressor of decreased fecundity | dominant | female phenotype of ovoD2
Nuclei of SxlfPb/Sxlf2593 larvae exhibit binding of the msl gene products to the paired X chromosomes but no Sxl binding.
