Description

Amino acid replacement: M4I.

Nucleotide substitution: G9267133A.

The mutant DNA contains three missense substitutions (given nucleotides are from chromosome arm 3R, r6) and a deletion of 9bp resulting in loss of three contiguous amino acids ( 3R:9268607-9268615 , aa 422-424) in Vps16A. The cause of impaired protein function is unclear: the first two substitutions (M4I and A24T) are not conservative and are found in variable regions in the protein; the aspartic acid of the E712D substitution is found in the corresponding site in the majority of Drosophila species and in many other species; the deletion sequence is in a region with moderately conservative changes between amino acids and lies between two regions that are conserved from fly to man.

Amino acid replacement: A24T.

Nucleotide substitution: G9267260A.

Amino acid replacement: E712D.

Nucleotide substitution: A9269662T.

Comment:

One of four lesions identified in Vps16A in mutant strain. Not clear which is responsible for impaired protein function. (Curator Note - The deletion is reported as extending from 3R:9268607-9268615 and removiing aa 422-424, but has been mapped to 3R:9268614..9268622:1 , which removes amino acids 422-424 in the R6 genome).

Reference

Vps16Ama-1 homozygous adults display eye color defects ('maroon' eye color).

Wild-type levels of aldehyde oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase activity.

Malpighian tubule colour: pale yellow.

Eye color autonomous in transplant into wild-type host.

Eye colour: dull ruby, approaching wild type with age.

The eye color defect ('maroon' eyes) characteristic for Vps16Ama-1 homozygous adults is rescued by expression of Vps16AUAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.
