Genomic fragment with a deletion of exons 10-12.
The 3'-terminal 2622 bp of the P{e(y)3} genomic fragment has been deleted.
suppressor of variegation
Mutant flies exhibit a repression of heterochromatin silencing.
e(y)3ΔPHD rescues e(y)3EMSl
e(y)3ΔPHD partially rescues e(y)34
e(y)3ΔPHD partially rescues e(y)3EMSl
e(y)3ΔPHD rescues female fertility and viability in the e(y)34 mutant strain and also suppresses the enhancement of the y2 and yinr phenotypes caused by e(y)34.
e(y)3ΔPHD rescues the viability and fertility of e(y)3EMSl mutants. However the repression of heterochromatin silencing phenotype remains.
