The ac1 sensilla of homozygous flies shows a dramatically reduced electrophysiological response to ammonia over a range of concentrations (0.01% to 10%) compared to wild type. The mutant ac1 sensilla also shows reduced spontaneous activity levels.
The response of the ac1 sensilla of homozygous flies to pyrrolidine, 2-oxovaleric acid, propanal or phenethylamine is normal.
The response of the ac2 and ac3 sensilla of homozygous flies to ammonia, propanal, 1,4-diaminobutane or 1-hexanol is normal.
The response of the ac4 sensilla of homozygous flies to ammonia, phenethylamine, pyrrolidine or propanal is normal.
AmtEY21789/Df(3R)BSC471 flies also show a defective electrophysiological response to ammonia.
Mutant flies show mild but significant defects in the auditory response to sound compared to wild type.
AmtEY21789 has abnormal neurophysiology | recessive | adult stage phenotype, suppressible by Agam\AmtUAS.cMa/Scer\GAL4Amt.PM
AmtEY21789 has abnormal smell perception | recessive | adult stage phenotype, suppressible by Agam\AmtUAS.cMa/Scer\GAL4Amt.PM
Expression of Agam\AmtScer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4Amt.PM rescues the reduced response of AmtEY21789 flies to ammonia.
AmtEY21789 is rescued by Amt+t14
AmtEY21789 is rescued by Scer\GAL4Amt.PM/AmtUAS.cMa
Amt+t14 rescues the reduced response of AmtEY21789 flies to ammonia.
Expression of AmtScer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4Amt.PM rescues the reduced response of AmtEY21789 flies to ammonia.
Separable from: a nearby lethal mutation on the chromosome.
