The insertion site of the P-element is located 15 bp upstream of the dj-1β translation start site.
Compared with wild-type, dj-1βGE23381 mutants show increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS)-production.
Zzzz\AOXScer\UAS.cFa mutants live longer than wild-type controls.
Homozygous flies show reduced climbing ability compared to controls.
dj-1βGE23381 mutants do not display any external phenotypic defects.
The climbing ability of dj-1βGE23381 mutants is reduced to about half of that of wild type even on the first day of eclosion, indicating that dj-1βGE23381 mutants show a premature loss of climbing ability. The declining rate over time in dj-1βGE23381 mutants and wild type are similar though.
Paraquat-administered dj-1βGE23381 mutants show further loss of climbing response compared to dj-1βGE23381 mutants without administration, whereas wild type do not show any sensitivity to paraquat at the same drug concentration.
dj-1βGE23381 has abnormal locomotor behavior phenotype, suppressible | partially by Cint\AOXUAS.cFa
dj-1βGE23381 has abnormal locomotor behavior phenotype, suppressible by Cint\AOXUAS.cFa/Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI
dj-1βGE23381 has abnormal locomotor behavior phenotype, suppressible by Cint\AOXUAS.cFa/Scer\GAL4nrv2.PS
The reduced climbing ability seen in dj-1βGE23381 homozygotes is substantially rescued by Zzzz\AOXScer\UAS.cFa even in the absence of a Scer\GAL4 driver, and the rescue is enhanced by the presence of either Scer\GAL4nrv2.PS or Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI.
