FlyBase curator comment: Molecular modification data for this allele is ambiguous. Has been variously reported as Q251term (FBrf0050132 and FBrf0066905), G314E (FBrf0080181) and G314term (FBrf0085395).
Amino acid replacement: ?314term.
Amino acid replacement: G314E.

Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change in FBrf0080181; there are conflicting reports on the amino acid change in this allele; see the FlyBase ninaE9 allele report
Mutant larvae show defects in discrimination between 18[o]C and 24[o]C in a binary choice thermotaxis assay compared to controls, but discrimination between 18[o]C and cooler or very warm temperatures is normal.
Individuals exhibit cytoplasmic curtains of rhabdomere membrane, rhabdomeres have degenerated.
Mean number of R1-6 rhabdomere/ommatidium decreased as rapidly as for ninaE17.

Encodes 1.6x10-4% of wild type levels of R1-6 rhodopsin (Johnson and Pak, J. Gen Physiol. 88:651--673 ).
