Modulation of voltage gated K+ currents induced by the neuropeptide pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP38) is eliminated. The mutation fails to block or mimic PACAP38 (neuropeptide pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating polypeptide) induced enhancement of K+ currents.
Extra R7 phenotype is suppressed by mutations in lilli.
Severe roughening of the eye external surface, section through the eye reveals multi R7 cells per ommatidium. Injection of a Ras CAAX peptidomimetic, FTI-244, significantly suppresses the mutant eye phenotype. Injection of a related compound, FTI-242, does not suppress the eye phenotype, but injection of FTI-254 does.
