      Statement
      Reference
      There is an amino acid replacement in a conserved residue (Y348H, nucleotide substitution T1042C) compared to the wild-type sequence, and, in addition, upstream of the amino acid replacement, four bases (ATCC) have been replaced by an eight base pair insertion (TACCTACC) at nucleotide position +530, resulting in a frameshift that is expected to produce a truncated, enzymatically-inactive protein.

      Levels of β-alanine transaminase activity are elevated compared to wild-type in newly emerged adults up to five hours postemergence. Levels of β-alanine transaminase activity are higher in su(b)6 ; b1 double mutant flies than in su(b)6 single mutant flies. Levels of β-alanine transaminase activity in su(b)6; b1 double mutant flies are lower than wild-type levels.
      (Weber et al., 1992)
      When unpigmented b1 pharate adult tissue is incubated with dopamine in vitro, the extent of inducible pigmentation of body cuticle, hairs and bristle sockets resembles that of wild-type, while pigmentation of the bristle shafts is significantly reduced.
      (Walter et al., 1996)
      b1 flies have a normal electroretinogram. b1 flies show no difference in walking speed or walking distance compared to wild-type flies when assayed in Buridan's paradigm. However, the number of walks initiated by b1 flies is significantly different from that of wild-type flies and fixation behaviour is defective in b1 flies in this assay.
