I?N
The nature of the nucleotide substitution in the mutant was inferred by a FlyBase curator based on the reported amino acid change, which is apparently the same as parats1. The location of the amino acid change was reported in the context of the surrounding amino acid sequence.
parats2 mutant larvae display modest resistance to picrotoxin (PTX)-induced seizures.
Homozygous flies paralyse within 15 seconds at 38oC and recover as rapidly after shifting to 20oC. comt6 parats2 double homozygotes paralyse within 15 seconds at 38oC (a time course similar to parats2 single homozygotes). A burst of activity preceeding paralysis (as seen in comt6 single homozygotes) does not occur in the double mutants. After shifting to 20oC, the double mutant flies appear to recover immediately and after a period of 10 seconds into recovery, almost all the flies are upright. During this period, increased activity is observed, but by 30 seconds, more than half the upright flies paralyse again, and this paralysis is complete by 1 minute. Recovery after this second round of paralysis proceeds in a manner similar to that of comt6 single mutant flies, albeit somewhat faster. Spontaneous activity in the dorsal longitudinal muscles of parats2 single mutant flies is infrequent and usually undetectable at 20 or 36oC, as well as on cooling to 32oC. The burst of spontaneous activity seen at 36oC in the dorsal longitudinal muscles of comt6 single mutant flies is completely suppressed in comt6 parats2 double homozygotes. On cooling to 32oC, a robust comt6-like burst of spontaneous firing is seen in the double mutant flies (this is not seen in comt6 single mutant flies).
Mutant flies show an increased tolerance to the paralytic effect of the toxin AaIT compared to wild-type flies.
Homozygous flies show significant resistance to dichloro-diphenyl-trichloro ethane (DDT) compared to wild-type flies.
Sub-anaesthetic concentration of carbon dioxide enhances the paralytic phenotype.
