PisninaE.PW is a suppressor of rhabdomere phenotype of Cds1
PisninaE.PW is a suppressor of rhabdomere phenotype of rdgB9
The degeneration of rhabdomeres in rdgB9 flies is greatly suppressed by expression of PisninaE.PW.
Expression of PisninaE.PW partially suppresses the CdsA1 retinal degeneration phenotype; after 5 days under a light/dark cycle, PisninaE.PW; CdsA1 flies have ommatidia that contain several rhabdomeres whereas almost all rhabdomeres have degenerated in CdsA1 flies at this stage.
