Flies carrying 1 copy of Su(H)RC-9Xm show bristle shaft-to-socket transformations.
The mean transepithelial potential (TEP) and mechanoreceptor potential (MRP) of mechanosensory bristles of flies carrying Su(H)RC-9Xm in a Su(H)unspecified background are reduced compared to wild type. The mechanoreceptor current (MRC) is also reduced compared to wild type. A clearly identifiable tormogen cell is evident in the mutant bristles. Flies carrying two copies of Su(H)RC-9Xm in a wild-type background show double-socket bristles. The phenotype is mitigated by reducing the dosage of the transgene.

Su(H)RC-9Xm has macrochaeta phenotype, enhanceable by CtBP[+]/CtBP87De-10
Su(H)unspecified flies carrying one copy of Su(H)RC-9Xm are viable and fertile and more than 99.5% of macrochaetae are wild type. A low frequency of double shafts and missing bristles (less than 0.5% combined) is seen.
