Rdl single copy line (does not contain the Dp(3;3)Rdl duplication).
The lesion in the RdlMD-RR allele has been described as A302S in print, but the amino acid replacement is actually A301S.
Amino acid replacement: A301S.
Amino acid replacement: A302S. There are no other amino acid replacements in this allele.
Amino acid replacement: A302S.
Nucleotide substitution: G995T.
Mutation falls within the second membrane spanning region of the protein (a region which is highly conserved among GABA[[A]] receptor genes).

A302S
Two missense mutations in strain. The Ala-Ser mutation thought to be associated with PTX/cyclodiene insensitivity. Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
Mutant larvae are more resistant to fipronil and to pyriprole compared to wild type.
Mutant flies show more than 45,000-fold resistance to dieldrin compared to wild type.
Mutant flies are significantly slower to recover from heat shock compared to wild type.
RdlMD-RR mutants show behavioral convulsions after brief exposure to elevated temperature.
Mutant flies are resistant to dieldrin (more than 55-fold resistant) and α-thujone (5-fold resistant) compared to wild-type flies.
Resistant to cyclodiene. Reduces the single channel conductance by 5% for inward current and 17% for outward current. Single channel current is approximately 60% lower for outward current than for inward current in both wild type and mutant. Increases open time and reduces closed times, reflecting a net stabilization of the channel open state by a factor of approximately five. Shows a marked reduction in the rate of GABA-induced desensitization, and a net destabilization of the desensitized conformation by a factor of 29.
Confers resistance to PTX and cyclodienes.
Resistant to dieldrin selection.
Flies are insensitive to 10μM dieldrin, and less sensitive to picrotoxinin than wild-type.
Flies show approximately 4000-fold resistance to dieldrin compared to wild-type.
RdlMD-RR is a suppressor of abnormal sleep phenotype of Nlg4LL01874
Rdl[+]/RdlMD-RR is a non-suppressor of lethal - all die before end of P-stage phenotype of Adar3.4.S.UAS, Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI
RdlMD-RR, smi26D1/smi26D[+] has abnormal smell perception | dominant | female phenotype
RdlMD-RR, smi26D1 has abnormal smell perception | dominant | female phenotype
RdlMD-RR/+ does not rescue the lethality of flies expressing Adar3.4.S.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI.
The introduction of a RdlR-VL background successfully restores night sleep in Nlg4LL01874 mutants, indicating that the sleep defects observed in Nlg4LL01874 mutants are due to impaired GABA transmission.
Isolated from: Maryland, USA population.
The A302S substitution is found in 14 resistant strains of D.melanogaster. The M361I amino acid replacement is found in some, but not all, resistant strains tested so is likely to be a polymorphism unrelated to insecticide resistance.
