Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

The overall architecture of the retina and lamina of the eye is not altered in homozygotes.

t1/t1 mutants or mosaic flies with homozygous t1/t1 photoreceptors (but elsewhere heterozygous) do not show on or off transients in response to light in electroretinogram recordings (ERGs) and have significantly reduced phototaxis compared to wild type.

t1 mutants are defective in the hydrolysis of carcinine.

Photoreceptor terminals in t1 mutants exhibit a reduced number of synaptic vesicles. The density of these synaptic vesicles is approximately 30% of wild-type.

t1 flies do not exhibit ON and OFF transients in ERG recordings of the laminar LMC neurons at the onset and end of light stimulation.

Approximately 65% of HdcJK910 mutants show no visual alert response (to a moving block, than in wild-type freezes fly movement). Approximately 25% exhibit a delayed response.

Body color: tan.

There are fewer synaptic vesicles per R1-R6 photoreceptor terminal in t1 mutants than in wild type.

Homozygous third instar larvae show a normal response to UVC radiation.

N-Β-alanyldopamine levels are elevated approximately threefold in homozygous flies compared to wild-type, while dopamine levels are reduced to about 50% of wild-type levels. High levels of N-Β-alanyldopamine are excreted compared to wild-type. When unpigmented t1 pharate adult tissue is incubated with dopamine in vitro, the extent of inducible pigmentation of body cuticle, hairs and bristle sockets resembles that of wild-type, while pigmentation of the bristle shafts is significantly reduced.

Body colour: more tan than wild type; easiest to identify by light tan antennae; male easier than female.

Dopamine, an important component of catecholamine metabolism (involved in both melanization of cuticle and synthesis of neurotransmitters), has been found in reduced amounts (about 60% of the wild-type concentration) in t1 and t5.

ERG abnormal.

Larval mouth part colour: lighter than normal at basal prongs, classifiable with difficulty in larva.

Not positively phototactic.
