Nucleotide substitution: G1304A. Amino acid replacement: R435Q. The mutation occurs at the last residue before the protein enters into the membrane as the first transmembrane segment (S1).
Mutation in the N-terminal region of the channel coding region.

R435Q
The annotated Shab protein is longer by 30aa at the amino terminus than the reported protein (GB:AF084525) accounting for the 30aa difference in the reported and annotated mutation positions.

paralytic | heat sensitive (with Shab2)
Shab1 photoreceptors have an input resistance that is significantly reduced from that of wild-type. This decreased input resistance maintains the sensitivity of the photoreceptors to dynamic light intensity fluctuations.
Most of the steady-state currents are eliminated in Shab1 mutant neurons.
Homozygous adults show a mild paralysis (becoming immobile and falling on their backs) in 1-2 minutes at 38[o]C. They recover in 4-5 minutes when shifted to room temperature. At 39[o]C, the flies undergo intense seizure, raising their wings and becoming deeply paralysed in 1-2 minutes. In this case, the recovery takes more than 15 minutes.
Heterozygous flies do not paralyse for up to 30 minutes at 38[o]C, but show a mild paralysis within 3 minutes at 39[o]C, recovering immediately on shifting to room temperature.
The I[[K]] voltage-activated K[+] current is reduced by about 45% in Shab1 muscles compared to controls, while the I[[A]] voltage-activated K[+] current is unaffected. The I[[CF]] Ca[2+]-activated K[+] current is not disrupted in Shab1 animals.
The I[[K]] voltage-activated K[+] current is reduced compared to wild type in Shab1/Shab2 and Shab1/Df(3L)HR370 muscles.
The delayed rectifier current (IK) is reduced by 46.0 +/- 3.0% compared to wild-type in Shab1 larval muscles. No significant change in the fast transient voltage-activated K+ current (IA), the fast transient calcium-activated K+ current (ICF), the slow sustained calcium-activated K+ current (ICS) or the total Ca2+ current is seen.
Affects the delayed rectifier potassium current as assayed in the larval muscles.
