Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

PIP5K59B18 adults show decreased retinal electrical response to green light (decreased amplitude and absent transients), compared to controls.

The co-expression of PIP5K59B18 and PIP5K59BUAS.L under the control of Scer\GAL4ninaE.PT induces eye defects (including small size).

Compared to wild type, photoreceptors from eyes made homozygous for PIP5K59B18 produce a much smaller receptor potential in response to light with very slow activation kinetics and response termination. PIP5K59B18 photoreceptors do not show any on or off transients.

PIP5K59B18 photoreceptors show no major defects in ultrastructure.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

PIP5K59B18 exacerbates the reduced electrical response to light and retinal degeneration phenotypes of rdgB9.

Light-dependent retinal degeneration seen in norpA36 mutants is not suppressed in norpA36 PIP5K59B18 animals.
