Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

laza1 mutants do not have the ability to discriminate between 18[o]C and temperatures between 20-24[o]C. The ability to choose 18[o]C over temperatures in the 14-16 and 26-32[o]C ranges is not impaired.

7-day old laza1 mutant adults do not display retinal degeneration. Older flies (>15 days) exhibit light dependent retinal degeneration.

laza1 mutant eyes display aberrant phototransduction. Exposure of wild-type flies to light results in a corneal negative receptor potential, which decays to baseline after cessation of the light stimulus. The amplitude of the light response is reduced nearly 3-fold in laza1 flies. The decreased phototransduction response in laza1 flies is not age dependent.

laza1 flies exhibit a defect in the maximum light response in the mutant. The amplitude of the laza1 response to an increase in light increases less sharply than in wild-type.

Termination of the photoresponse is approximately 4-fold faster in laza1 flies than in wild-type. Even with wild-type flies being exposed to a lower light intensity (so the electroretinogram response amplitude is the same), the laza1 flies exhibit a 2-fold quicker speed of termination of the photoresponse compared to wild-type.

Retinal degeneration is significantly reduced in 2-day-old PldScer\UAS.La (Scer\GAL4unspecified) ; laza1 flies relative to PldScer\UAS.La (Scer\GAL4unspecified flies. Suppression is detected in 3-day-old flies, however, by 7 days post-eclosion, the differences between PldScer\UAS.La (Scer\GAL4unspecified and PldScer\UAS.La (Scer\GAL4unspecified ; laza1 flies are not significant.

Comments

The presence of laza+t.10.35kb in laza1 significantly rescues the ability to discriminate between 18 and 24[o]C.

Introduction of the laza+t.10.35kb transgene restores the deactivation kinetics of laza1 mutants to wild-type levels.
