Btau\RHOninaE.PA is a suppressor of rhabdomere phenotype of ninaE17
Expression of Btau\RHOninaE.PA rescues the rhabdomere morphogenesis defects of ninaE17 flies.
Btau\RHOninaE.PA is able to partially rescue the rhabdomere defects of ninaE17 flies. At 3 days of age, rhabdomere size is largely rescued, although they are smaller and slightly irregular in shape compared to wild type. At 7 days, more substantial defects in rhabdomere packing are seen in the rescued flies, and at 14 days the rhabdomere membranes are extensively unraveled. The unraveling phenotype is seen in 14 day old rescued flies raised both under light-dark conditions and raised under constant darkness.
