photoreceptor cell & endoplasmic reticulum
ERG recordings from ninaA1 homozygous mutant clones in the eye do not show a prolonged depolarization afterpotential (PDA) after exposure to light, unlike wild type.
Displays locomotor activity rhythm with an approximately 24h period.
Temperature sensitive (restrictive temperature: 29oC, permissive temperature: 18oC). At the restrictive temperature most of the Rh1 opsin in the photoreceptor cells R1-R6 is in the ER. These cells also show large accumulations of ER at the restrictive temperature.
Dramatic reductions in rhodopsin levels of R1--R6 cells with concomitant impaired visual function.
ninaA1/ninaA[+] is a suppressor of increased cell death phenotype of p53UAS.cJa
ninaA1/ninaA[+] is a suppressor of outer photoreceptor cell phenotype of p53UAS.cJa
Loss of one genomic copy of ninaA, in a ninaA1/+ heterozygous background, protects the outer photoreceptor cells from Scer\GAL4ninaE.PT;p53Scer\UAS.cJa-induced apoptosis.
The phenotype can be fully rescued by P element mediated introduction of a wild type copy of ninaA.
