Imprecise excision of P{lacW}519 has caused a deletion that removes bases -3330 to +1746 with respect to the nan start codon.

uncoordinated (with nan36a)
nandy5 mutant adults have significantly increased water consumption, compared to controls.
Homozygous flies show disrupted hygrosensing behaviour; a higher fraction of flies choose moist air (100% humidity) over dry air (0% humidity) compared to wild-type controls in a hygrosensory behaviour assay after five minutes.
Mutants show an impaired electrophysiological response to dry air, while leaving moist air sensing unaffected (recordings were taken at the base of the 2nd antennal segment in these experiments).
Homozygotes and nandy5/nan36a transheterozygous adults are viable but show abnormal behaviour: they are sedentary, mildly uncoordinated, more likely than wild-type flies to fall whilst climbing, and slower to right themselves after a fall. Homozygotes show a loss of sound-evoked potentials when the antennal extracellular potentials are recorded. Mutant chordotonal organs appear to have normal ultrastructure.
nandy5 has abnormal auditory perception phenotype, suppressible | partially by Dnah3MB05004
nandy5 is a non-suppressor of abnormal auditory perception phenotype of Dnah3MB05004
As in either mutant alone, nandy5 Dnah3MB05004 double mutants entirely lack sound-evoked electrical potentials. Mechanical amplification is excessive in the double mutants, similar to Dnah3MB05004 mutants, substantially lower than in nandy5 mutants alone.
