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.
temperature-sensitive temperature of adult paralysis: 29oC temperature causing developmental defects: none viability of allele over deficiency: lethal
shi4 is an enhancer of wing vein | ectopic phenotype of CblDv.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
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.
Grigliatti.
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.
