Insertion of AAAG after nucleotide 1092 that throws the sequence out of frame introducing 11 novel amino acids and then a stop codon.
Mutation producing a frameshift, resulting in a truncated protein.
AAAG
Insertion of AAAG after nucleotide 1092 of the pn CDS that throws the sequence out of frame introducing 11 novel amino acids and then a stop codon.
pn2 adults exhibit brownish-purple eyes and a significant reduction in the amplitude of locomotor activity rhythm (circadian rhythm) under constant darkness while they exhibit normal circadian periods and percentages of rhythmic flies under constant darkness; normal bimodal activity patterns and anticipation under light-dark conditions when compared to controls.
pn2 eyes have reduced red pigments and show a minor morphogenesis defect. Old flies show severe retinal degeneration.
Eyes contain 18% normal red pigment and 114% normal brown pigment.
Malpighian tubule colour: wild-type.
Eye colour: light brownish-red.
awdK, pn2 has lethal | second instar larval stage phenotype
Scer\GAL4GMR.PU, TFAMJF02307, pn2 has eye phenotype
pnhs.T:Avic\GFP rescues the pn2 eye colour phenotype and prevents retinal degeneration.
pnhs.4 fails to rescue the lethal interaction of pn2 with awdK. pnhs.3 does rescue the lethality (with or without heat shock) and male progeny are recovered. Eye colour of P{HS-PN+4} transformants remains pn even after several heat pulses, P{HS-PN+3} transformants (without heat shock or with one or numerous heat shocks) exhibit wild-type colouration.
Demerec.
The localisation of ry protein within the eye is abnormal.
