Imprecise excision of P{GawB}Sap-rNP7456 results in a 2.5kb deletion, the first two exons of Sap-r.
2529 bp deletion resulting from the imprecise excsion of P{GawB}Sap-rNP7456, which removes the first two exons of Sap-r.

Sap-rC27/Df(3R)tll-e and Sap-rC27/Sap-re01294 flies exhibit a significantly reduced lifespan as compared to wild type, and progressive climbing defects, as compared to Sap-rC27/+ controls. Sap-rC27/Df(3R)tll-e and Sap-rC27/Sap-re01294 flies also show progressive neurodegeneration, as evidenced by severe progressive vacuolization of antennal lobes, eye, and optic lobes, in contrast to wild type or Sap-rC27/+ controls.
Sap-rC27/Df(3R)tll-e mutants show significant age-related deterioration in their ability to respond to light as measured by electroretinogram, compared with controls. The neurons in Sap-rC27/Df(3R)tll-e mutant antennal lobes have soma that are consistently and grossly enlarged with electron-dense storage material, in contrast to wild type; glial cells of the Sap-rC27/Df(3R)tll-e CNS exhibit cell enlargement; these mutants also show an increase in multilamellar bodies and multivesicular bodies in the cortex surrounding the antennal lobes. Some rhabdomeres in Sap-rC27/Df(3R)tll-e mutants show massive accumulation of electron-dense material.
Df(3R)tll-e/Sap-rC27 has abnormal neurophysiology | adult stage | progressive phenotype, enhanceable by CalxninaE.PW
Df(3R)tll-e/Sap-rC27 has eye | progressive phenotype, enhanceable by CalxninaE.PW
Expression of CalxninaE.PW exacerbates the age-related deterioration of visual function seen in Sap-rC27/Df(3R)tll-e mutants, as measured via electroretinogram recording.
