Imprecise excision of P{EP}HisCl1EP73547 has produced a 1.7kb deletion removing -25 to +1691 of HisCl1.
A deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{EP}HisCl1EP73547 that removes sequences from -25 to +1691 relative to HisCl1.
As in wild type, robust hyperpolarizing "on" and depolarizing "off" transients are invariably seen in the electroretinograms of HisCl1134 mutant flies. The "off" transients are very similar to wild type, but although the "on" transients appear qualitatively similar to wild type, the amplitude is approximately two fold higher.
Intracellular recordings from HisCl1134 mutant large monopolar cells (LMCs) have a similar resting potential to wild type and produce similar graded transient hyperpolarizations in response to 10ms bright flashes. The maximum responses are of a similar amplitude, but the rise time of the response waveforms is significantly slower than in wild type cells, with the time to peak delayed by ~10-20ms. The responses are also slightly less sensitive to low intensity flashes.
The temperature preference profile of HisCl1134 homozygous adults is abnormal with a significantly increased preference for higher temperatures compared to wild-type. Locomotor activity levels in these animals appear to be normal. However, when placed at 40'C, these flies are rendered unconscious at a significantly faster rate than wild-type and their recovery from a 10 minute 40'C heat shock is significantly slower than wild-type.

ort1 in a HisCl1134, ninaE1 mutant background significantly reduces the phototactic preference for ultraviolet light over green light seen in wild type and control flies.
ort1/ort4 in a HisCl1134, ninaE1 mutant background significantly reduces the phototactic preference for ultraviolet light over green light seen in wild type and control flies.
ort1/ort6 in a HisCl1134, ninaE1 mutant background significantly reduces the phototactic preference for ultraviolet light over green light seen in wild type and control flies.

The temperature preference profile of HisCl1134, ort1 homozygous adults is abnormal. There is a broader spread of temperature preferences with a significantly with fewer flies choosing the wild-type majority preference of 24-25'C. Locomotor activity levels in these animals appear to be normal. However, when placed at 40'C, these flies are rendered unconscious at a significantly faster rate than wild-type. However, when placed at 40'C, these flies are rendered unconscious at a significantly faster rate than wild-type and their recovery from a 10 minute 40'C heat shock is significantly slower than wild-type. These two phenotypes (reduced tolerance for high temperatures and slower recovery following heat shock) are both largely rescued by HisCl1+t14.3; ort+t13.3.
HisCl1134, ort1 homozygous adults have a significantly increased death rate after 6 days at 4'C compared to wild-type, but they recover more quickly from a cold induced coma. These phenotypes are largely rescued by HisCl1+t14.3; ort+t13.3.
