Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
Mutant larvae show defects in discrimination between 18[o]C and 24[o]C in a binary choice thermotaxis assay compared to controls, but discrimination between 18[o]C and cooler or very warm temperatures is normal.
The shape and integrity of the rhabdomeres remains intact in 7 day old mutant flies, although each peripheral rhabdomere appears smaller than normal.
Individuals develop reasonably normal rhabdomeres and none show membrane curtains.
Third instar foraging larvae show negative photobehaviour indistinguishable from the wild-type response to light. Third instar larvae continue to show negative phototaxis during the wandering stage, in contrast to wild-type larvae.
Displays locomotor activity rhythm with an approximately 24h period.
Slow rate of degeneration of R1-6 photoreceptors.
ERG phenotype: light coincident response is large, transients are present.
Homozygotes have very little rhodopsin, heterozygotes have approximately 51% rhodopsin compared to wild-type levels.
3-13% normal RH1 level

Pak.
Encodes 1.5% of wild type levels of R1-6 rhodopsin (Johnson and Pak, J. Gen Physiol. 88:651--673 ).
