Transversion in the sequence encoding transmembrane domain IIIS6. This would be expected to affect all splice variants. The altered F residue is perfectly conserved in calcium channel α1 and sodium channel α subunits and some potassium channel subunits.

NMJ bouton | increased number (with cacNT27)
cacS mutants exhibit a dramatic reduction in air puff-triggered flight initiation success. However, these flies display spontaneous sustained flight, with significantly increased wing beat frequency coupled with higher DLM firing rates well beyond the maximum firing frequency found in wild-type flies. There is a subtle yet statistically significant increase in the CV for cacS mutant flies.
Heterozygous larvae show reduced synaptic homeostasis at the neuromuscular junction after treatment with philanthotoxin-433 compared to control larvae.
cacS heterozygosity has no effect on the rapid induction of homeostatic signaling at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) following philanthatoxin (PhTx) application.
Duration of copulation in mutant males is about 30% longer than in wild-type males. Analysis of the average numbers of intrapulse cycles (CPP) per song bout of reasonable length indicates that at 20oC and 30oC mutant males generate song pulses containing larger than normal numbers of cycles.
At 36oC, mutant flies show spinning behaviour and a lack of coordination. At 36oC, 50% of homozygotes show paralysis in 39.57 +/- 1.25 minutes. At 38oC, 50% of homozygotes show paralysis in 19.97 +/- 1.78 minutes.
Mutants show a reduction in the synaptic current at the dorsal longitudinal flight muscle (DLM) neuromuscular synapse compared to wild type. The decrease in the synaptic current is activity-dependent and shows no clear dependence on temperature.
General characteristics of mutant phenotype: Song pulse - mutant; Optomotor test - wild-type; CC-phototaxis - wild-type; Y-phototaxis - wild-type; ERG transients - wild-type; ERG LCRP amplitude - wild-type; ERG LCRP kinetics - wild-type; ERG Rebound - mutant; ERG refractory wandering - wild-type.

GluRIIASP16/GluRIIASP16;cacS/+ third instar larvae show significant decreases in mEPSP (decreasing quantal size) and partial impairment of compensatory homeostatic increases in quantal content (significantly less quantal content than is seen in GluRIIASP16/GluRIIASP16 mutants alone but significantly more than wild type) at the NMJ. GluRIIASP16/GluRIIASP16 cacS/+ Cskj1D8/+ third instar larvae show significant decreases in mEPSP and quantal content at the NMJ.
The NMJs of cacS GluRIIASP16 double mutant larvae exhibit partially impaired synaptic homeostasis.
One copy of CspDG29203 prevents the compensatory increase in quantal content seen in the NMJs of cacS/+; GluRIIASP16 mutant larvae that have reduced quantal size, resulting in impaired evoked neurotransmission. There is no increase in quantal content compared with cacS/+; CspDG29203/+ controls.
A cacS or cacS/cacNT27 background suppresses satellite frequency in sei2 mutants. Double mutants display a drastic decrease in both type B and M satellites, along with an even more pronounced reduction in the number of mature boutons and terminal branches.
A cacS background suppresses satellite frequency in slo1, slo4 and slo98 mutants.
The phenotype of reduced synaptic homeostasis at the neuromuscular junction after treatment with philanthotoxin-433 that is seen in cacS/+ larvae is not enhanced by dysbe01028/+.
The heterozygous cacS/+ mutation mildly suppresses, but does not abolish the synaptic homeostatic compensation response at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) seen in homozygous GluRIIASP16 single mutants.
The recessive GluRIIASP16 single mutant NMJ synaptic homeostasis phenotype is completely suppressed in the presence of a heterozygous cacS mutation in combination with either an ExnEY01953 or an ExnEY-Δ23 heterozygous genetic background.
