paralytic | heat sensitive (with paralk5)
Only 2.2% of para63 flies become paralysed when placed at 29oC. para63 larvae exhibit a higher frequency of failures in evoked transmitter release from larval stage motor nerve terminals when bathed in varying Ca2+ concentrations. para63 larvae, at the permissive temperature of 21-22oC, exhibit compound action potentials with a reduced amplitude compared to wild-type. At the restrictive temperature of 38oC, para63 larvae exhibit a complete loss of compound action potentials. This loss is reversed when the temperature is lowered to a permissive range.
Homozygous flies do not show significant resistance to dichloro-diphenyl-trichloro ethane (DDT) compared to wild-type flies.
para63 has paralytic | heat sensitive phenotype, enhanceable by ineRA.UAS/Scer\GAL4Gli-rL82
When ineRA.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Gli-rL82, in a para63 mutant, 73% of the flies become paralysed at 29oC. When para63 flies, expressing ineRA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Gli-rL82, are placed at 32oC, all the flies are paralysed.
