Rh5ninaE.PC is a suppressor of abnormal thermotaxis | larval stage phenotype of ninaE17
Rh5ninaE.PC is a suppressor of phenotype of ninaE17
Expression of Rh5ninaE.PC rescues the ability of ninaE17 larvae to strongly discriminate between 18[o]C and 24[o]C in a binary choice thermotaxis assay.
The electroretinograms of homozygous ninaE17 flies have no on- or off-transients and the magnitude of depolarisation is dramatically reduced compared to wild-type. The light response in the ERG is completely restored if the flies are carrying Rh5ninaE.PC.
