Detailed Description

Statement Reference Body colour: dark. A large fraction of homozygotes are arrhythmic with respect to locomotor activity when kept in constant darkness at 24oC, and the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is lower than wild-type. Heterozygotes have intermediate SNR values between homozygotes and wild-type, indicating that their rhythmicity is not completely normal. Homozygotes usually show disorganised bouts of activity when transferred from a light-dark cycle to constant darkness. At 20oC, most homozygotes have weak rhythmicity or are arrhythmic, at 28oC, most homozygotes have significant periodicity. The circadian period tends to be shorter at 20oC and longer at 28oC. Some homozygotes have extremely weak rhythms under a light-dark cycle. Hemizygous e1/Df(3R)e-BS2 or e1/Df(3R)e-N19 flies show variable rhythmicity in constant darkness at 20oC and do not synchronise normally to light-dark cycles, similar to homozygotes. In contrast to homozygotes however, they do not show short-period rhythms at 20oC. norpA7 and norpA36 partially suppress the arrhythmicity of some homozygous e1 flies. The eclosion rhythm is normal. N-Β-alanyldopamine levels are drastically reduced in homozygous flies compared to wild-type, while dopamine levels are elevated approximately twofold. When e1 pharate adult tissue is incubated with dopamine in vitro, the extent of inducible pigmentation of body cuticle, hairs and bristle sockets resembles that of wild-type, while pigmentation of the bristle shafts is significantly reduced. A stripe of dark pigment seen in wild-type adult females near the posterior edge of abdominal segments A2-A6. e1 mutants retain a distinct pugment stripe and the cuticle anterior to the stripe is much darker than wild-type. In the thorax and wings, wild-type flies have a uniform colour. In e1 mutants the thorax and wings become more darkly pigmented, and new pigmentation patterns are seen. There are fewer synaptic vesicles per R1-R6 photoreceptor terminal in e1 mutants than in wild type. | |||

Statement Reference A stripe of dark pigment seen in wild-type adult females near the posterior edge of abdominal segments A2-A6. y1, e1 double mutants have brown pigment throughout the abdomen and the stripe is no longer distinct. In the thorax and wings, wild-type flies have a uniform colour. In y1 mutants these structures become tan. In e1 mutants the thorax and wings become more darkly pigmented, and new pigmentation patterns are seen. y1, e1 double mutants also show these patterns, but the black pigment is absent, and they consist of two shades of brown pigment. | |||

Comments
| |||
Mutants are unable to synthesize β-alanyl-dopamine; they are deficient for the activity of β-alanyl-dopamine-synthase. Mutants have reduced amounts of histamine in the head. | |||
