Two mutants ofDrosophila melanogaster, parats1(1-53.9) andnapts(2-56.2) both display similar temperature-sensitive paralysis associated with blockage in the conduction of nerve action potentials, suggesting that the two gene products have a similar function. This idea is supported by the observation that the double mutant is unconditionally lethal. Genetic analysis of this synergistic interaction has revealed the following: 1) it specifically involves theparaandnaploci; (2) allparaalleles interact withnapts, but the strength of the interaction varies in an allele-dependent fashion; (3) lethality of the double mutant occurs during the first larval instar withparats1but differs with otherparaalleles; (4) hypodosage ofpara+causes lethality in anaptsbackground. These results together with previous electrophysiological, behavioral and pharmacological studies of these mutants suggest that bothparaandnapaffect sodium channels and possibly encode different subunits.
