In inaD1 mutants, individual photoreceptors form the correct number of synapses per
presynaptic terminal independently of cartridge composition.
In red-eyed inaDP215 homozygous flies flies dark-adapted for 2 minutes, the electro-retinogram (ERG) response to 2 second bright white-light stimulation displays the initial fast depolarization and maintenance during stimulation seen in wild-type. However, the recovery of polarisation following the end of stimulation is slower than in wild-type. This phenotype is not seen when low light levels are used.
Mutants have defects in the on/off transients of the electroretinogram. Histamine-activated conductance in mutant laminar L1/L2 neurons appears indistinguishable from wild type.
ERG responses are more wild type in peak amplitude, amount of decay during illumination, refractory period and response latency than those of trp2.
The electroretinograms of young inaD1 flies are abnormal; they show a delay in termination of the photoresponse. Exposure to a shorter light stimulus in these flies results in a less severe termination defect.
Light-dependent retinal degeneration.
norpAC1094S.hs inaD1 double mutants display a profound loss of the visual response.
inaD1 mutants have an electroretinogram (ERG) phenotype that approaches that of trp mutants. Flies show slow deactivation kinetics in response to a flash of light. The mean latency times between stimulus and quantum-bump generation are significantly greater than in wild-type flies, although quantum bumps from inaD1 flies show normal termination kinetics.
Patch clamp recordings of homo- and heterozygotes show a slow deactivation of the light-induced current, this defective deactivation is dependent of calcium influx. Photoreceptors show increased sensitivity to dim light. Two copies of P{hsp70-InsD} can completely rescue the wild type physiology of inaD1 heterozygotes, two copies cannot rescue homozygotes.
Semi-dominant mutant of visual physiology, such that the phenotype (re PDA) of heterozygote similar to that produced by other ina homozygotes; inaD homozygotes exhibit ERG response that decays to baseline during bright light stimulus, and off transient is absent.
inaDP215, trpl302 has abnormal visual behavior phenotype
inaDP215 is a non-suppressor of rhabdomere phenotype of rdgA1
inaDP215, trpl302 has photoreceptor neuron phenotype
Rhabdomeres of trpl302,inaD1 double mutants are intact in 1 day old flies. ERG light responses of trpl302,inaD1 and trpl302,trp2 are small and transient, but the response amplitude of trpl302,inaD1 is significantly smaller than that of trpl302,trp2. Similarly, refractory period and response latency defects are more severe for trpl302,inaD1 than for trpl302,trp2.
