Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Mutant flies are paralysed at 28.5oC.

Mutant flies show tight and complete paralysis in 2 minutes at 29oC.

Sub-anaesthetic concentration of carbon dioxide specifically suppresses the temperature sensitive paralytic phenotype. Sub-anaesthetic concentration of carbon dioxide also rapidly reverses paralysis induced at the restrictive temperature. The effect depends on the absolute concentration of CO2 rather than the ratio with oxygen.

Hemizygous flies do not survive. shi2/shi4 flies become paralysed very slowly at 29oC or 27oC compared to shi2 or shi4 homozygotes.

temperature-sensitive temperature of adult paralysis: 29oC temperature causing developmental defects: none viability of allele over deficiency: lethal

sesBorg lowers the temperature at which 100% of shi4 flies are paralysed in 3 minutes, from 29oC to 27oC.

awdMSF15 reduces the temperature threshold for paralysis by 6oC in shi4 mutant flies.

shi4 stnA6 stnB6 flies undergo complete paralysis in 2 minutes at 26oC.

Thirty-seven percent of shi4; Scer\GAL4GMR.PF CblDv.Scer\UAS wings exhibit an ectopic vein phenotype, moreso than in Scer\GAL4GMR.PF CblDv.Scer\UAS mutants.

Order of temperature sensitivity in the hemizygous condition: shi4 > shi21 > shi1 > shi2. Order of temperature sensitivity in the homozygous condition: shi21 = shi1 > shi4 >= shi2. Order of temperature sensitivity of heteroallelic combinations: shi2/shi21 = shi1/shi21 >= shi4/shi21 > shi1/shi2 = shi1/shi4 >> shi2/shi4.
