Two deletions; 24bp from nucleotides 508 to 531, and 356bp from nucleotides 656 to 1011. The second deletion results in a frame shift, creating a stop codon 74bp downstream of the mutation. The predicted protein is truncated prior to the S1 segment.
Deletion leading to a frameshift, causing effectively a null mutation.
The first of two deleted regions in mutant; a 24bp deletion.
The second of two deleted regions in mutant; a 356bp deletion which causes a frameshift and early translation termination.
Electrical current recordings from Shab3 mutant photoreceptors show the slowly inactivating current is eliminated, but the transient K+ current is intact in these mutants.
Shab3 ommatidia exhibit a standard configuration of photoreceptors with normal rhabdoms. In whole-cell recordings, the cell capacitances, which are dominated by the contribution of the microvillar membrane, are indistinguishable from the wild-type, as is the appearance of dissociated ommatidia.
Shab3 photoreceptors exhibit 'bump' waveforms (elementary responses of the phototransduction machinery corresponding to single-photon absorptions) and impulse responses to light flashes that are similar to wild-type.
The macroscopic kinetics of Shab3 photoreceptors are not significantly different from those of wild-type photoreceptors.
Shab3 photoreceptors show reduced steady-state input resistances.
Shab3 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.
Homozygotes are paralysed within 3 minutes at 39oC. They recover from paralysis within 4 minutes of being transferred to 25oC. The delayed rectifier current (IK) is reduced by 61.2 +/- 2.7% compared to wild-type in Shab3 larval muscles.
The voltage-activated delayed sustained current (IK) is partly reduced (by approximately 65%) in Shab3 larval muscles.
