6480bp genomic fragment containing trp that has been mutated to carry the amino acid replacement D621G.
trp9, trpD621G, trpl302 has abnormal neurophysiology | adult stage phenotype
trp9, trpD621G, trpl302 has photoreceptor | adult stage phenotype
Flies expressing trpD621G in the trp9;trpl302 double mutant background show significant changes in their photoreceptor ionic selectivity profile (decreased permeability for Ca[2+] and Mg[2+] in particular) and much slower kinetics of the light response as well as decreased single channel conductance, altered rectification characteristics and alleviated channel block by Mg[2+] and ruthenium red of the mutated ion channel compared to controls.
