5bp deletion within Arl6IP1; results in a frameshift from residue 27 and a premature stop codon.
A 5bp deletion starting in codon 27 of Arl6IP1 rsults in a framshift and early translation termination.
Arl6IP1KO1 homozygotes are viable but adults show a progressive decrease in climbing ability. In third instar larvae, axon terminals of long motor neurons (i.e. targeting A7) display disrupted ER morphology, as well as significant elongation of mitochondria; axon bundles show an increased number of lipid droplets.
