Mobilisation of the P{roX1-lacZ.R}roX1w+tandem insertion present in roX1Δ891, resulting in the loss of 1.2kb of roX1 sequence flanking the P{roX1-lacZ.R}roX1w+tandem insertion site and its replacement with more than 3kb of Ecol\lacZ sequence fused to the roX1 promoter. This arrangement appears to be the product of a gene conversion event that occurred when the double-stranded break produced by P-element mobilisation underwent gap repair using a sister chromatid template, and is consistent with repair driven by homology between the roX1 promoter on the broken chromosome more than 1kb from the break site and the roX1 promoter in the P{roX1-lacZ.R} element on the sister chromatid. An isolated 3' P-element end is present downstream of the Ecol\lacZ sequence (this is the result of the 5' P-element end present in the progenitor chromosome being precisely replaced by the 3' end during the gene conversion event).

The lethality of roX1SMC17A;Df(1)roX2Δ double mutant hemizygous males can be rescued by expression of an autosomal insertion of either roX1Scer\UAS.cRa or roX2Scer\UAS.cRa driven by Scer\GAL4da.PU or by combination with either Dp(1;3)DC067 or Dp(1;3)DC511 (autosomal translocations of fragments from the X chromosome containing roX1 or roX2 gene, respectively).
Only 0.2% of roX1SMC17A Df(1)52 hemizygous males with P{w+4Δ4.3} survive to adulthood and these typically die upon eclosion. Only 37% of these animals reach 3rd instar and those that do reach this stage 4-5 days late. Survival to adulthood is partially rescued (to 2.5%) by msl-1Hsp83.PC; msl-2Hsp83.PK.
lncRNA:roX1SMC17A is rescued by Scer\GAL4da.PU/lncRNA:roX1UAS.cRa
The lethality of roX1SMC17A;Df(1)roX2Δ double mutant hemizygous males is rescued by expression of roX1Scer\UAS.cRa under the expression of Scer\GAL4da.PU.
