Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Sh16 mutant flies are capable of sustained flight (for longer than 10 seconds).

Sh16 mutant flies exhibit a flight pattern that is different to wild-type flies, with increased wing beat frequency but largely normal DLM spiking activity, including an average firing rate and cv of the inter-spike interval.

Mutant flies exhibit a decrease in the daily sleep amount. This is mainly due to a decrease in the duration of sleep episodes rather than in their number. This phenotype is very sensitive to background modifiers. Those animals that exhibit a short sleeping phenotype also exhibited a shorter lifespan than control siblings.

At room temperature, the motor axon terminals of Sh16 larvae show a similar level of arborization to wild-type larvae. However, when larvae are raised at 25oC, the extent of arborization in Sh16 motor terminals is greater than that seen in wild type.

Heat-shock induced expression of Sh29-4.hs in a Sh16 mutant background results in fast inactivation kinetics and extremely slow recovery from inactivation in mutant neurons.

More sensitive than the wild-type to the knock-down effect of acute γ-irradiation.

"Giant" neurons derived from flies carrying Sh29-4.hs in a Sh16 background show a heat shock inducible A-type K+ current. This current shows slow recovery from inactivation compared to wild-type.

IA is completely eliminated in homozygous third larval instar muscles.

A-type current is completely absent.

Ether-dependent leg shaking and wing scissoring. Chloroform, ethyl acetate and carbon dioxide etherization does not elicit shaking behavior, though nitrogen and triethylkamine etherization does. Unetherized, older flies show uncoordinated walking behavior, and stand quivering on the bottom of the culture bottle.

abnormal leg shaking under ether anesthesia; abnormal A-type potassium currents in larval muscle and/or pupal flight muscle; abnormal action potentials in the adult cervical giant fiber; abnormal synaptic transmission at the larval neuromuscular junction and multiple firing of larval motoneurons.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The increased arborization of motor axon terminals seen when Sh16 larvae are raised at 25oC is partially suppressed in rut1, Sh16 double mutant larvae.

No wings down phenotype was observed for qvr1 in combination with Sh21, Sh5 or Sh16 though leg shaking is more vigorous in these double mutants than in either of the Sh of qvr single mutants alone. At external Ca2+ concentration of 0.4mM, the increase in EJC amplitude caused by qvr1 is no greater than that caused by Sh16, and is not enhanced by Sh16.

The leg shaking phenotype is suppressed by paralk5.

Phenotype suppressed by mlenap-ts1, even at permissive temperatures. Shaking and suppressed phenotypes are evident in severed legs as well as in the whole organism.
