A genetic analysis of the Suppressor 2 of zeste complex of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 May 1995

Wu C T, Howe M

Abstract excerpt

The zeste1 (z1) mutation of Drosophila melanogaster produces a mutant yellow eye color instead of the wild-type red. Genetic and molecular data suggest that z1 achieves this change by altering expression of the wild-type white gene in a manner that exhibits transvection effects. There exist suppressor and enhancer mutations that modify the z1 eye color, and this paper summarizes our studies of those belonging to...
