CysGMR.PK is a suppressor of ommatidium phenotype of car1
CysGMR.PK is a suppressor of rhabdomere phenotype of car1
CysGMR.PK is a suppressor of rhabdomere phenotype of norpAEE5
CysGMR.PK is a suppressor of ommatidium phenotype of norpAEE5
Expression of CysGMR in norpA7 mutants fully rescues the retinal degeneration seen upon exposure to constant light for 6 days. This rescue is robust and provides protection when light exposure is extended to 8 days.
The presence of CysGMR rescues the retinal degeneration seen in car1 after 9-days of constant light.
