Description

Imprecise excision of the insertion in lazaEY04417 resulting in a 703bp deletion that removes the presumed start codon and sequences encoding the first 28 amino acids of the encoded protein.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

laza22 photoreceptors show normal ultrastructure on eclosion. However, when laza22 flies are raised in bright light, the mutant photoreceptors undergo progressive vesiculation and degeneration of the rhabdomeres which is quite severe by 5 days after eclosion. This degeneration is not seen if the laza22 flies are raised in dim light.

Reference

The light-dependent retinal degeneration observed in Pld3.1 homozygous adults is partially suppressed by combination with laza22 in homozygous state.

rdgA3 ; laza22 double mutant adults show photoreceptor degeneration in dim light, with the rate of degeneration being similar to that seen in rdgA3 single mutants. When flies are raised in bright light, the rate of photoreceptor degeneration in rdgA3 ; laza22/laza22 double mutants is greatly reduced compared to that seen in rdgA3 single mutants. The rate of photoreceptor degeneration in rdgA3 ; laza22/+ flies in bright light is intermediate between that of rdgA3 ; laza22/laza22 and rdgA3 flies.

The decreased rate of deactivation of the light response that is seen in the electroretinogram response of rdgA3 flies following a 1 second stimulus of light is substantially rescued by laza22.

laza22 slows the rate of photoreceptor degeneration seen in rdgB9 flies.
