The benzothiazepine S107 reverses arrhythmia in the UNC-68(R4743C) mutant. (a) Original kymographs of video-microscopic recordings of the unc-68(r1162) rescue with wt and R4743C mutant fosmids, with or without incubation in 50 µM of the benzothiazepine S107 (inset) in 0.1% DMSO. (b) Mean and SEM number of pumps achieved over 100 consecutive light stimuli (3.7 Hz, 35 ms), binned per 10 light pulses, obtained by kymographic video analysis of intact, pmyo-2::ChR2::mCherry-expressing animals. As indicated, unc-68(r1162) deletion mutants, after 30 min incubation in 50 µM S107 (red) or without S107 (0.1% DMSO; black), were compared to wt with (green) or without (blue) S107 incubation (n = 4–9). (c) Analysis as in (b), but for r1162 deletion mutants expressing the R4743C fosmid, with S107 (green) or without (blue), or the rescue wt fosmid (red and black, respectively) (n = 20–29). (d) Percentage of successful light pulses followed by a pump, across all 100 light stimuli, as recorded in (b) and (c). Statistically significant differences, 1-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc test: ***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05.
