Construct: Included within an 11kb XhoI-EcoRI fragment (compare to nonA+tXhR11). Amino acid 13 (a Y) in the RNP2 of RRM1 is replaced by an A.
In an otherwise nonA- background, viability is only 6-7% that of controls carrying P{132XhR11}. Survivors are generally disorientated and do not fly. Flies placed on an open table top stand in place and barely walk or move their legs. Males fall over and cannot get up. Fails to rescue the optomotor blindness associated with nonA mutants. Light-on/light-off transient-less phenotype caused by nonA- is not rescued. Males sing in a mutant manner, with wildly polycyclic pulses.
