Statement
Reference
Scer\UAS sequences govern expression an inverted repeat of 770bp of Gα49B cDNA sequence from a region common to all Gα49B splice variants. This sequence was amplified from of the Gα49B3α isoform cDNA using PCR primers: (5'-GGTACC(538)TCACGATACTAGCAGCATCCC-3') (5'-GGATCC(1314)CGGTGTAAGCGAGCGAAG-3') for the forward sequence and (5'-TCTAGA(539)GTGCTATGATCGTCGTAGGGA-3') (5'-GGATCC(1308)TTCGCTCGCTTCTCAATTCT-3') for the inverted sequence. A 12 nucleotide linker separates the forward and reverse sequences.

Statement
Reference
Expression of Gα49B[dsRNA.Scer\UAS.1f1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Orco.T:Hsim\VP16] does not reduce the odour response of the ab1A or ab2A olfactory receptor neurons (tested with ethyl acetate) or of the ab3A ORN (tested with methyl butyrate). Expression of Gα49B[dsRNA.Scer\UAS.1f1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Gr21a.9.323] results in a significant decrease in the response of the ab1C ORN to CO[[2]], across a wide response range. Expression of Gα49B[dsRNA.Scer\UAS.1f1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Gr21a.9.323] selectively in adulthood (using the temperature sensitive Scer\GAL80[ts.αTub84B] allele to block expression at earlier stages of development) is sufficient to decrease the response to CO[[2]] compared to wild type, at all concentrations of CO[[2]] tested.
The electroantennograms of animals expressing Gα49B[dsRNA.Scer\UAS.1f1] under the control of either Scer\GAL4[Gα49B.PS] or Scer\GAL4[Or83b.2.642.T:Hsim\VP22] have a reduced amplitude compared to controls in response to a number of odours (ethyl acetate, butanol, propionic acid, benzaldehyde and iso-amyl acetate). The response to ethyl acetate of ab2 large basiconic hairs in animals expressing Gα49B[dsRNA.Scer\UAS.1f1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Gα49B.PS] is significantly different from that of control cells; the firing frequency of the mutant ab2a neuron in response to ethyl acetate is strongly reduced compared to controls.
Spontaneous odor identity discrimination is significantly disrupted in transgenic Scer\GAL4[c309]/+; Galpha49B[dsRNA.Scer\UAS.1f1], Scer\GAL80[ts.αTub84B]/+ flies at the restrictive (30[o]C) but not the permissive temperature.
60% of Gα49B[dsRNA.Scer\UAS.1f1]; Scer\GAL4[Ddc.PL] flies are flightless. However, the wing posture of these flies and the spontaneous firing rate in dorsal longitudinal flight muscle is normal.

The electroantennograms of animals co-expressing Plc21C[GD11359] and Gα49B[dsRNA.Scer\UAS.1f1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Or83b.2.642.T:Hsim\VP22] show a significant decrease in amplitude compared to controls in response to a number of odours (ethyl acetate, butanol, propionic acid, benzaldehyde and iso-amyl acetate). Expression of Gα49B[dsRNA.Scer\UAS.1f1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Gα49B.PS] in rdgA[1] or rdgA[3] homozygotes significantly rescues the electroantennogram responses of the homozygotes. Co-expression of Gα49B[dsRNA.Scer\UAS.1f1] reduces the decrease in the amplitude of the electroantennogram in response to a number of odours (ethyl acetate, butanol, propionic acid, benzaldehyde and iso-amyl acetate) that is seen in animals expressing rdgA[GD1518] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Or83b.2.642.T:Hsim\VP22].
