Flies expressing Stim[GD16187] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Trh.PB] show normal flight ability in a cylinder drop test. However, the flies show increased spontaneous firing from the dorsal longitudinal indirect flight muscles compared to wild type.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4[pnr-MD237] results in loss of bristles on the notum in 50-60% of the Scer\GAL4[pnr-MD237] expression domain. Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4[pnr-MD237] results in duplication of bristle hairs on the notum in 0-10% or 10-20% of the Scer\GAL4[pnr-MD237] expression domain, depending on the insertion line used.
No obvious changes are observed in Stim[GD16187] larvae. They are viable and pupate normally. Adult flies with pan-neural expression of Stim[GD16187] (under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155]) exhibit defective wing posture with significant loss of flight, as seen in the 'cylinder drop' test assay. Stim[GD16187] knockdown (under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155]) results in a complete loss of flight. Nonfliers with pan-neural expression of Stim[GD16187] selected from the cylinder drop test are either unable to initiate rhythmic action potentials in response to an air-puff stimulus or exhibit unsustained (<5s) and arrhythmic flight patters. Knockdown of Stim[GD16187] in glutamatergic neurons leads to a milder change in flight patterns compared with pan-neural knockdown. Recordings from resting DLMs of these flies reveals a high arrhythmic spontaneous firing rate of action potentials, the frequency of which is significantly higher than wild-type.
