Description

0.3kb deletion that removes the entire Xport-B coding sequence. While the deletion eliminates expression of the Xport-B protein, Xport-A protein is still expressed in Xport-BΔB mutants.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Mutant adults show only a transient electroretinogram response to light, in contrast to the sustained response seen in wild-type flies.

Mutant adults show severe retinal degeneration at 14 days of age (raised under light:dark conditions).

Expression of Xport-AninaE.PC does not rescue the electroretinogram defects of Xport-BΔB adults.

The electroretinogram defects seen in trpMB03672 flies are not altered if the flies are also mutant for Xport-BΔB.

trplMB10553 enhances the electroretinogram defects seen in Xport-A1, Xport-BΔB flies.
