    Detailed Description
    Statement
    Reference

    The slow Ca[2[+]]-activated K[+] current found in photoreceptors is absent in Cam352 mutants.

    Light response in ommatidia dissociated from Camn339/Cam352 transheterozygotes display calcium-independent deactivation defects. Single photon absorption produces long trains of quantum bumps. These defects are not rescued when the flies are reared on a vitamin-A deficient diet.

    Mutant larvae are sluggish and show 100% pupal lethality. The amount of backward movement seen in Cam352/Camn339 larvae is increased by high light intensity.

    Camn339/Cam352 animals do not eclose from the pupal case. Camn339/Cam352 photoreceptors have dramatic defects in deactivation kinetics, displaying greatly prolonged deactivation times. Similar deactivation kinetics are seen at different concentrations of extracellular calcium ions, in contrast to wild-type. A single photon produces a train of quantum bumps in Cam352/Camn339 double mutant photoreceptors, in contrast to wild-type.

    The Camn339/Cam352 photoreceptor deactivation time phenotype can be partially rescued by Camhs.PDH, the degree of rescue depending on the number of heat shocks given.
