Ihf03355 homozygotes, Ihf03355/Ihf01485 transheterozygotes and Ihf03355/Df(2R)BSC700 or Ihf03355/Df(2R)Exel7131 animals exhibit normal light responses but distinctive electroretinogram baseline oscillations. Ihf03355 mutant photoreceptors, but not wild-type photoreceptors, showed rhythmic depolarization without light stimulation. Rhabdomeral structures are normal in Ihf03355 mutants.

EM images show no obvious morphological differences between Ihf03355 and wild-type photoreceptor cartridges.

EM images reveal normal rhabdomere structure in 14-day-old Ihf03355 mutant flies raised under regular light cycles (12 h light/12 h dark) or in constant darkness.

10 Lux light stimulation evokes a a significantly reduced depolarization in Ihf03355 mutant photoreceptors, compared to wild type.

With low or high-intensity moving light patterns, Ihf03355 flies exhibit a reduced ability to track moving patterns.

At old age, mutant flies are very uncoordinated and often fall down with their bodies quivering frequently.

Homozygous and Ihf03355/Df(2R)Exel7131 flies show an enhanced proboscis extension response (PER) to sugar stimuli compared to controls. Homozygous flies show a higher PER than control flies to caffeine and to berberine.

Under light-dark conditions, mutant flies of both sexes show a reduction in daily sleep time compared to controls. Under constant darkness conditions, the number of sleep bouts of mutant females is increased compared to controls.

Excision of the insertion reverts the phenotype of enhanced proboscis extension response to sugar stimuli.

Precise excision of the PBac{WH} element completely reverts the abnormal baseline ERG phenotype.
