UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of pleGD1181 under the control of Scer\GAL4dimm-929 does not affect sensitivity to (S,Z,Z)-CH503 (a more potent stereoisomer of the gustatory sex pheromone CH503). As in wild type flies, courtship defects are seen in response to (S,Z,Z)-CH503.
Expression of pleGD1181 using Scer\GAL4en.PU results in a paler posterior compartment. A held-out wing phenotype is not observed.
pleGD1181-induced down regulation of ple in DPM neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4VT64246 does not affect learning and 3 hour memory.
Expression of pleGD1181 under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF leads to impaired olfactory learning.
Flies expressing pleGD1181 under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF are viable and show a reduced cuticle pigmentation phenotype.
Rotenone treatment of flies expressing pleGD1181 under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF increases the mean life span by 20% with respect to Scer\GAL4ple.PF controls, indicating rotenone toxicity is partially mediated by dopamine levels. Neuronal expression, under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu increases mean life span by 22%.
Flies expressing pleGD1181 under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF that are treated for 6 days with rotenone exhibit an approximate 20% loss of dopaminergic neurons, compared to 50% loss in control flies.
Adults expressing pleGD1181 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in a colour difference between the central Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain of the notum and the surrounding lateral region in 100% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
pleGD1181, Scer\GAL4ple.PF is a suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype of Hsap\SNCAA30P.UAS, Scer\GAL4ple.PF
pleGD1181, Scer\GAL4ple.PF is a suppressor of abnormal locomotor behavior phenotype of Hsap\SNCAA30P.UAS, Scer\GAL4ple.PF
pleGD1181, Scer\GAL4ple.PF is a suppressor of dopaminergic neuron phenotype of Hsap\SNCAA30P.UAS, Scer\GAL4ple.PF
The number of dopaminergic neurons in Hsap\SNCAA30P.Scer\UAS flies also expressing pleGD1181 does not change from 3 to 35 days indicating a strong suppression effect by the pleGD1181 line (when both are expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF).
Co-expression of pleGD1181 with Hsap\SNCAA30P.Scer\UAS (both under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF) rescues the age-dependent decline in motor abilities seen upon Hsap\SNCAA30P.Scer\UAS overexpression.
