Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

The increased amount of sleep normally seen in young flies is still observed in Oamb286 mutants.

Oamb286 mutants exhibit an increase in sleep, which manifests as longer sleep bouts at night and a greater number of sleep bouts during the day.

Feeding 10 mg/ml octopamine to Oamb286 flies does not produce the decrease in nighttime sleep seen in wild-type controls. Ilp2 neurons in these flies appear to be virtually unresponsive to octopamine, although the Slowpoke current is unaffected.

Homozygous adults have normal gross external morphology.

Comments

Expression of OambScer\UAS.K3 in Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR neurons results in a significant reduction in sleep in a Oamb286 background, thus effectively rescuing the phenotype. A decrease in nighttime sleep in response to 10 mg/ml octopamine is also rescued in these flies.
