Figure 4From: A role for the membrane protein M6 in the Drosophila visual systemMedian lifespan is reduced in M6 mutant flies. (A) Schematic diagram (not drawn to scale) of the M6 locus showing the localization of independent P-element insertions (arrowheads). Start transcription sites corresponding to P1 and P2 and the stop codon (TAA) are also indicated. (B) Survival curves of adult w, M602/ 02, heterozygous and homozygous M601 males (M601/ + and M601/ 01, respectively). The percentage of surviving flies ± SE over time (in days) at 25 °C in LD (standard conditions) is shown. Statistical analysis included a Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) survival curve comparison (P < 0.0001; Graphpad Software). Sample size ranged between 292 and 496 flies per genotype.Back to article page
