P43L
Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
Cam5 heterozygotes exhibit little effect on the average period of free-running.
Some hemizygotes reared separately from wild-type siblings survive to the adult stage. These mutants are ill coordinated and weak and do not live long as adults. Mutants perform very poorly in vortex, flight and climb tests. Transheterozygous combinations with other Cam mutations produces an incompletely penetrant ectopic wing vein phenotype and either lateral or bilateral cuticular 'scabs' on the notum.
Cam[+]/Cam5 is an enhancer of abnormal circadian rhythm phenotype of Mmmm\PVUAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf
Cam5, l(2)C43C43 has lethal phenotype
In combination with l(2)C43C43 mutants exhibit completely penetrant lethality.
A heterozygous Cam5 background in flies expressing Mmmm\PVScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf can result in lengthening of the free-running period, compared to controls, after 5 weeks in constant darkness.
Allelic series of the relative strength of the lethal mutations: Cam8t > Cam7 > Cam6c4 > Cam5 > Cam4c1 > Cam3c1.
