Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
paralytic | heat sensitive (with stmA1)
At restrictive temperatures (>37oC), all stmA18-2 mutant animals are completely paralysed within minutes, although control animals appear unaffected. At intermediate temperatures, stmA18-2 mutants show intermediate movement impairment. At 29oC, mutants remain mobile for many hours but become progressively sluggish and die within 1 day. At 33oC, mutants display reduced movement followed by complete paralysis in approximately 30 minutes.
At permissive temperatures (<25oC), stmA18-2 mutant adult flies appear to act normally and cannot be distinguished from wild-type flies based on locomotion or gross behaviour.
Heterozygous stmA1/stmA18-2 mutants display 100% paralysis within 3-4 minutes when shifted from room temperature (22oC) to 37oC) and recover with a similar time course after a return to room temperature.
A single copy of stmAT:Avic\GFP-EGFP fully recues the behavioural paralysis found in heterozygous stmA1/stmA18-2 mutants.
Two second site mutations have been identified in the "rbo[3]" stock. One of these second-site mutations is due to a mutation in Btk29A, and has a phenotype characterized by abnormal morphogenesis of posterior spiracles and lack of tracheal gas-filling at the end of embryogenesis. The other second-site mutation affects the l(2)gl gene, resulting in lethality.
Group I allele.
