Detailed Description

Investigation of trplninaE.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP translocation in Arr11 mutants reveals no significant difference from wild-type photoreceptors.

Light-dependent ninaE endocytosis is blocked in Arr11 pupal photoreceptors. As with wild-type flies, 12L/12D-reared Arr11 mutants have intact photoreceptors at eclosion. At 3 days posteclosion, Arr11 photoreceptors show numerous multivesicular bodies and abnormal membrane tubules that extend from the rhabdomere base. By 6 days many photoreceptors are degenerate; some are engulfed by neighbouring cells and some are condensed and dark, while other degenerating photoreceptors have necrotic features, including large cytoplasmic vacuoles and cell swelling. Degeneration is slower in dark-reared Arr11 photoreceptors, but is overall similar to degeneration in 12D/12L.

Arr11 heterozygotes show a decrease in electropalpogram amplitude in response to the odor of butanol, compared to a control strain. A similar phenotype is seen in Df(2L)II30/Arr11 flies.

Whole cell voltage clamp recording of the light activated response of mutant photoreceptor cells show a wild type rate of deactivation (defined as the recovery of the photoresponse after termination of the stimulus).

The vesicular accumulations of ninaE and trpl proteins in the cytosol of photoreceptor cells in adult retina upon light exposure characteristic for Culde01982 mutants are fully rescued by combination with Arr11.

trplninaE.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP translocation is severely inhibited in Arr11; Arr23 double mutant photoreceptors. trplninaE.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP is observed in the rhabdomeres of bouth light- and dark-raised flies.

When Arr11 mutants are also mutant for Arr25, photoreceptor degeneration is suppressed in adults and ninaE endocytosis is restored in pupae. Likewise, Arr11;Arr23 flies show no photoreceptor degeneration.

Arr11; Arr23 double mutants exhibit a decrease in rate of deactivation that is more severe than Arr23 homozygotes.
