Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
When dissected from the pupal case the flies appear normal but are incapable of coordinated movement. The lethal phase is not altered in embryos derived from germ-line clones for comt3-13-3. Hemizygous male larvae take much longer than wild type to roll from lying on their dorsal surface to their ventral surface. They are often found protruding vertically from the surface of the medium for long periods of time and burrow deeply and die - possibly as a result of suffocation. Hemizygous males also accumulate gas in their intestinal tract.
comt3-13-3 has lethal | recessive | pharate adult stage phenotype, suppressible by Scer\GAL4elav-C155/Nsf2UAS.cGa
comt3-13-3 is rescued by Scer\GAL4elav-C155/comtUAS.cGa
