C665Y
Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
fruB2/fruF males show significantly reduced copulation success compared to controls in single-pair courtship assays.
fruB2/fruF males show courtship song defects: the interpulse interval of the pulse song is longer and more varied than normal. Sine song and the carrier frequency of pulse song are normal.
fruB2/fruF males show a significant decrease in the number of aDT2/mAL neuronal cells per hemisphere compared to fru[+] males, but no significant change in the number of pMP4/P1, pIP10, dPR1, vPR1, vPR6, aSP1 or aSP2 neuronal cells per hemisphere.
The overall mating ability in competitive mating assays can be ranked as follows: fru[+] > fruΔA.T:Hsap\MYC > fruB2 > fruC1.
