Mutant flies have reduced red pigment in the eye compared to controls.
Flies with eyes carrying or49h clones show a reduction in pigment.
Examination of mutant eyes reveal a dramatic decrease in the number of electron dense pigment granules seen surrounding groups of photoreceptor cells. Examination of retinula cells from rb1 mutants reveals normal neuronal anatomy, including normal cytoplasmic synaptic vesicles (SVs). In an assay for larval motility, or49h mutants performed slightly less well than wild-type larvae. In locomotor assays testing olfactory response to propionic acid, or49h mutants perform significantly less well than wild-type larvae.
Eye colour: bright orange; like or1. RK1.
or49h has abnormal eye color phenotype, enhanceable by auxUAS.cHa/Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
or49h has abnormal eye color phenotype, enhanceable by auxCJ.DPF.UAS.mRFP(Unk)/Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
or49h has abnormal eye color phenotype, enhanceable by auxFL.UAS.mRFP(Unk)/Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
or49h has abnormal eye color phenotype, enhanceable by auxCJ.UAS.mRFP(Unk)/Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
or49h has abnormal eye color phenotype, non-enhanceable by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF/auxΔC.UAS.mRFP(Unk)
or49h has abnormal eye color phenotype, non-enhanceable by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF/auxCJ.DLL.DPF.UAS.mRFP(Unk)
or49h has abnormal eye color | somatic clone phenotype, non-enhanceable by Vps28k16503
or49h is an enhancer of abnormal eye color phenotype of pp
or49h/or[+] is an enhancer of visible phenotype of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, bchsEP2299
or49h has pigment cell | somatic clone phenotype, non-enhanceable by Vps28k16503
or49h is an enhancer of pigment cell phenotype of pp
or49h/or[+] is an enhancer of eye phenotype of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, bchsEP2299
or49h is a non-enhancer of ommatidium | somatic clone phenotype of Vps28k16503
Expression of auxScer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF enhances the loss of red eye pigment that is seen in or49h flies.
Expression of one of P{EPgy2}EY16920, CG9139EP681a, PBac{WH}CG5342f05247, P{EPgy2}EY00704, P{EPgy2}CG5903EY11938 or CG17184EY11874 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF has no effect on the reduced red eye pigment phenotype of or49h flies.
The loss of red eye pigment that is seen in or49h flies is enhanced by expression of one of auxFL.Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP, auxCJ.Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP or auxCJ.DPF.Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.
Expression of auxΔC.Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP or auxCJ.DLL.DPF.Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-mRFP under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF does not enhance the loss of red eye pigment that is seen in or49h flies.
Eyes that carry Vps28k16503, or49h double mutant clones show the same two phenotypes as Vps28k16503 and or49h single mutant clones.
