Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change. Site of amino acid change inferred from surrounding amino acid sequence.
Vha100-12 homozygous whole-eye clones in the adult lose on-off retinal transients in response to short light pulses and have a significant reduction in light sensitivity compared to controls.
Vha100-12 mutant photoreceptor terminals show increased accumulation of autophagic vacuoles compared to controls.
Vha100-12 in combination with Vha100-11, Vha100-13, Vha100-14, Vha100-15 or Df(3R)3450) develop to late embryonic stages, but fail to hatch. The same phenotype is seen when these embryos are born to born to mothers with a Vha100-11 homozygous germ-line.
Flies in which the retina is homozygous for Vha100-12 (made using the 'ey-flp' system described in FBrf0125463) consistently fail to walk toward light in a phototaxis assay. Electro-retinograms from these animals display normal depolarization in response to light stimuli, but exhibit a complete loss of 'on' and 'off' transients, indicative of a failure to evoke a postsynaptic response.
The frequency and amplitude of mini excitatory postsynaptic currents at the neuromuscular junctions of Vha100-12/Vha100-13 embryos is normal. However, excitatory postsynaptic currents induced by stimulation of the motor nerve supplying muscle 6 in these embryos have significantly lower amplitudes than in wild-type. As in wild-type, postsynaptic currents are induced in response to application of a hypertonic solution at the neuromuscular junction.
Assays of dye-uptake (FM1-43) into boutons at neuromuscular junctions indicate a significant reduction in vesicle cycling at unstimulated junctions of Vha100-12/Vha100-13 embryos compared to wild-type.
Scer\GAL4GMR.PF/Vha100-12 is a non-suppressor of eye phenotype of Syx1AUAS.cBa
Scer\GAL4GMR.PF/Vha100-12 is a non-suppressor of ommatidium phenotype of Syx1AUAS.cBa
The rough eye phenotype of Syx1AScer\UAS.cBa; Scer\GAL4GMR.PF flies raised at 18oC is not suppressed when the eye is made homozygous for Vha100-12.
