Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Expression of CalxninaE.PW does not result in significant degeneration of visual function in the eye as measured via electroretinogram recording in 5 day-old versus 22 day-old adults.

The amplitude and integral currents (called quantum bumps) generated by a single photon of light is much smaller in CalxA flies compared to wild-type flies. The small quantum bump amplitudes and waveforms produced by these mutants correlate with low Na/Ca currents. In contrast, CalxA flies that express CalxninaE.PW generate quantum bumps that are larger than wild-type and correlate with high Na/Ca currents.

Expression of CalxninaE.PW exacerbates the age-related deterioration of visual function seen in Sap-rC27/Df(3R)tll-e mutants, as measured via electroretinogram recording.

CalxninaE.PW significantly rescues the degenerated rhabdomere morphology seen in flies which have been exposed to light and which are expressing CpndsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ under the control of a Scer\GAL4GMR.PU line which results in Cpn expression being reduced to only 1% of wild-type levels. In addition, the reduction in electroretinogram response amplitude is partially rescued at moderate and intense light levels. The normal electron transparent appearance of the rhabdomere terminal web is not rescued.

The retinal degeneration seen in trpP365/+ flies reared in the dark for 10 days is almost completely suppressed by expression of CalxninaE.PW.

Comments

Expression of CalxninaE.PW in CalxA photoreceptor cells rescues the ability of the CalxA photoreceptors to produce a Na+/Ca+ exchange current; in fact, this exchange current is ~8-fold larger and ~5-fold faster than that produced by wild-type cells. Additionally, expression of CalxninaE.PW prevents the age-dependent loss of the deep pseudopupil from the eyes of CalxA flies. CalxninaE.PW; CalxA eyes have rhabdomeres 1-6, which are rarely present in CalxA eyes (rhabdomere 7 is not rescued by CalxninaE.PW due to its expression pattern).
