R?Q
Mutation of conserved residue in Aprt. Mutation identified in cDNA sequence.
Heterozygous males and females show increased longevity compared to sibling controls. Heterozygotes have an increased AMP:ATP ratio and an increased ADP:ATP ratio compared to controls.
Flies are purine resistant.
Resistant to purine.
Aprt5 is partially rescued by Scer\GAL4elav-C155/AprtUAS.cPa
Aprt5 is not rescued by AprtUAS.cPa/Scer\GAL4Eaat1.PR
Selected as: Purine resistant by feeding.
