Summary
Enables GTPase activator activity and phosphatidylinositol phospholipase C activity. Involved in several processes, including detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of bitter taste; entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod; and negative regulation of compound eye retinal cell programmed cell death. Located in rhabdomere. Part of inaD signaling complex. Is expressed in several structures, including Bolwig nerve; brain; organism subdivision; photoreceptor; and photoreceptor neurons. Used to study retinal degeneration and retinal disease. Orthologous to human PLCB4 (phospholipase C beta 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 2024]

  1. Guided by the structure of the INAD-NORPA complex, we discover that INADL is probably a mammalian counterpart of INAD. The INADL PDZ89 tandem specifically binds to PLCb4 with a mode that is strikingly similar to that of the INAD-NORPA complex, as revealed by the structure of the INADL PDZ89-PLCb4 CC-PBM complex.

  2. This study demonstrated that NorpA and eya2 mutants with disrupted vision showed normal mating effects on sleep.
    Title: Mechanisms of sleep plasticity due to sexual experience in Drosophila melanogaster.
  3. These results provide evidence for the existence of a unique dPIP5K dependent pool of PIP2 required for normal Drosophila phototransduction.
    Title: A dPIP5K dependent pool of phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PIP2) is required for G-protein coupled signal transduction in Drosophila photoreceptors.
  4. The positive feedback between PLCbeta and IP3R found here may represent a common feature of the inositol-lipid signaling
    Title: Functional cooperation between the IP3 receptor and phospholipase C secures the high sensitivity to light of Drosophila photoreceptors in vivo.
  5. Taken together, these findings reveal that PLC function in Drosophila sweet-sensing neurons is a conserved molecular signaling pathway that confers attraction to fatty acids

  6. This review prestnted the evidence the norpA mutation have significantly contributed to understanding the molecular and biochemical basis of phototransduction in Drosophila.
    Title: Impact of studies of the Drosophila norpA mutation on understanding phototransduction.
  7. Light reception mediated by Rh5 and Rh6 must utilize either a different (nonretinal) phospholipase C-beta enzyme or alternative signaling mechanisms, at least in terms of clock-relevant photoreception
    Title: Rhodopsin 5- and Rhodopsin 6-mediated clock synchronization in Drosophila melanogaster is independent of retinal phospholipase C-β signaling.

  9. Analysis of norpA inaE double mutants and severe inaE mutants defective in photoreceptor respponses to light shows that normal diacylglycerol lipase activity is required for the generation of physiologically meaningful photoreceptor responses.
