Insertion into lat transcription unit. 28bp deletion in intron d (nucleotides 895-922). 4bp deletion 12bp 5' of the translation start site (at nucleotides 1161-1163). 8bp duplication 134bp 5' of the translation start site.
Insertion P element at cytological location 49F7--49F8.
Homozygotes show a 20% reduction, and hemizygotes an 80% reduction, in mushroom body volume. Hemizygotes show a 20% reduction in central complex volume.
Mutant EJC amplitudes (larval muscle 12 and muscle 6) are significantly larger than wild type at all Ca2+ concentrations. Short term synaptic facilitation, synaptic augmentation and posttetanic potentiation are reduced in mutants.
Specific defect in learning and memory retention. Olfactory acuity, nonassociative change in odour avoidance and shock reactivity is not defective.
Flies exhibit defective initial learning levels, thereafter mutant memory decays as wild type.
Orc3P1 is rescued by Orc3+t17.1
