    Description

    Mutation resulting in altered splicing of intron 6 of qvr. A single base change in the intron is likely to be responsible for this defective splicing.

    Nucleotide substitution: G?A.

    Detailed Description
    Statement
    Reference

    qvr1 mutant flies display significantly increased wing beat frequency with a relatively normal DLM firing rate.

    qvrEY04063/qvr1 flies show ether-induced leg shaking.

    qvr1 homozygotes and qvrEY04063/qvr1 flies show a significant decrease in sleep relative to wild-type controls.

    Flies show leg shaking behavior. When exposed to 10mM paraquat for 48hr, mutants show 42% survival (wild type shows 97% survival). qvr1 mutants do not cause any alteration in amplitude, time course or frequency of MEJPs. At Ca2+ concentrations of 0.5mM and 1.0mM the EJC amplitudes do not follow fourth power relationships, indicating that defective K+ currents could weaken membrane repolarization and cause transmitter release approaching saturation level at relative lower concentrations. The Ca2+ current in larval muscle is not affected by qvr1. The Ca2+ activated K+ currents are also unaffected. IK is also unaffected but IA is greatly reduced in amplitude and the kinetics of IA are altered so that the time to peak IA lengthened.

    Homozygous and hemizygous adults are hypersensitive to paraquat. Homozygous adults show severe leg shaking, antennal twitching, abdomen pulsations, wing movement and body shuddering under ether anaesthesia. Homozygous adults have a reduced lifespan compared to wild-type flies.

    100% of eag1, qvr1 double mutants hold their wings down, similar to those of eag,Sh double mutants. 10% of Hk1, qvr1 double mutants and 13% of eag4PM, qvr1 double mutants show the wings down phenotype. Sequence of potency for causing the wings down phenotype is eag1 > eag4PM > Hk1 > Hk2. No wings down phenotype was observed for qvr1 in combination with Sh21, Sh5 or Sh16 though leg shaking is more vigorous in these double mutants than in either of the Sh of qvr single mutants alone. Frequency and amplitude of spontaneous EJPs is dramatically enhanced in qvr1, eag4PM double mutants. At external Ca2+ concentration of 0.4mM, the increase in EJC amplitude caused by qvr1 is no greater than that caused by Sh16, and is not enhanced by Sh16.

    qvr1/+ ; Sodn1/Sodn1 and qvr1/qvr1 ; Sodn1/Sodn1 animals die as late pupae.
