Rh6ninaE.PS is a suppressor of phenotype of ninaE17
Expression of Rh6ninaE.PS rescues the ability of ninaE17 larvae to strongly discriminate between 18[o]C and 24[o]C in a binary choice thermotaxis assay.
The electroretinograms of homozygous ninaE17 flies have no on- or off-transients and the magnitude of depolarisation is dramatically reduced compared to wild-type. The light response in the ERG is completely restored if the flies are carrying Rh6ninaE.PS.
