    Synthesis of 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK) is essentially eliminated in cn3 mutant flies at day one post-eclosion, whereas kynurenic acid (KYNA) levels increased, leading to a dramatic decrease in the 3-HK/KYNA ratio.

    Homozygous cn3 partially suppresses the rhabdomere degeneration seen in one day old flies expressing Hsap\HTTQ93.ex1p.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155. Some rescue, albeit reduced, is also seen at seven days post-eclosion. No rescue is seen with heterozygous cn3. The increase in 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK)/kynurenic acid (KYNA) ratio is also significantly suppressed, with flies exhibiting ratios that are similar to those seen in cn3 mutant flies alone. Unlike when Hsap\HTTQ93.ex1p.Scer\UAS is expressed alone, treating these flies with Ro 61-8048 is unable to further rescue the rhabdomere degeneration. Feeding the flies 3-HK suppresses the protective effect of cn3 in a dose-dependent manner; at the highest dose the level of rhabdomere degeneration is similar to that seen when Hsap\HTTQ93.ex1p.Scer\UAS is expressed alone. The 3-HK/KYNA ratio is also restored.
