The progenitor P{EP}EP2299 insertion is still present on the chromosome.

G to A nucleotide change at the second or third position of the Trp codon leads to a nonsense mutation (exact site of mutation unspecified). Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
bchs17 mutants show no defects in the larval visual system or embryonic central nervous system.
bchs17/bchs[+] is a suppressor | partially of microchaeta phenotype of Rab1193Bi/Rab11ex1
Df(2L)cl7/bchs17 is a suppressor of microchaeta phenotype of Rab1193Bi/Rab11ex1
bchs17/bchs12 is a suppressor of microchaeta phenotype of Rab1193Bi/Rab11ex1
bchs17/bchs[+] is a suppressor | partially of posterior scutellar bristle phenotype of Rab1193Bi/Rab11ex1
The viability of Rab11ex1/Rab1193Bi is increased when flies are also mutant for either Df(2L)cl7/bchs17, bchs17/bchs12 or bchs17/+.
The microchaeta loss of Rab11ex1/Rab1193Bi flies is significantly suppressed by bchs17/+ and is completely suppressed by Df(2L)cl7/bchs17 or bchs17/bchs12. Further, posterior scutellar bristle length of Rab11ex1/Rab1193Bi flies is restored partially by bchs17/+ and more fully by Df(2L)cl7/bchs17 or bchs17/bchs12.
The bouton density and branching defects of Rab11ex1/Rab1193Bi larval NMJs at muscle 6/7 are significantly suppressed in bchs17/bchs12; Rab11ex1/Rab1193Bi double mutants.
