Amino acid replacement: F590G. Mutation is at the C-terminal end of putative transmembrane spanning α-helix 5.
Point mutation.
Point mutation in the structural portion of w.
TTC2791025GGC
TT5317GG
F590G | w-PA
F590G
The reported Phe590 to Gly amino acid change (TTC to GGC) requires substitution at two positions in the codon.
Homozygotes have brown-orange eyes with only 7% red pigment (compared to 100% pigment in wild type).
Drosopterin (red pigment) levels are 4% of wild-type levels, xanthommatin levels (brown pigments) are 79% of wild-type levels.
Eye colour: deep ruby.
Eye colour: deep ruby Malpighian tubule colour: nearly wild-type.
