Internal deletion of a 115bp SpeI fragment (between 3437 and 3552, 3' end deletion of 15 amino acids).
Heat shock induced expression produces wild-type flies.
Heat induced expression causes few bristle duplications and socket to shaft transformations.
HC6.hs has phenotype, non-enhanceable by Su(H)hs.PS
HC6.hs is a suppressor of microchaeta phenotype of Su(H)hs.PS
Carried in plasmid "C6" and expressed in S2 cell culture to test for proper protein expression.
