Statement
Reference
Ends-out homologous recombination at the Gr33a locus, using P{FRT(Gr33a.GAL4.Scer\SceI.RS)} as the donor template.
Ends-out homologous recombination at the Gr33a locus has resulted in the Scer\GAL4 coding region being inserted at the site of the normal translation initiation codon of the Gr33a locus (a mini-w marker has also been inserted in addition to the Scer\GAL4 coding region and a portion of the endogenous Gr33a coding region has been replaced by the inserted sequences).

Statement
Reference
Mutant flies show normal L-canavanine avoidance in a two-way choice test.
Mutant labellar taste bristles show a normal electrophysiological response to 50mM sucrose. Mutant flies show a normal behavioural response to sucrose in a two-way choice test (preferring 5mM sucrose to 1mM sucrose). Mutant labellar taste bristles show an impaired electrophysiological response to a number of bitter tasting compounds (caffeine, quinine, denatonium, berberine, lobeline, papaverine and strychnine).
Mutant labellar taste bristles show an impaired electrophysiological response to a number of bitter tasting compounds (caffeine, quinine, denatonium, berberine, lobeline, papaverine and strychnine). Mutant flies show reduced avoidance to a number of bitter compounds (caffeine, quinine, denatonium, berberine, lobeline and papaverine) in a two-way choice assay compared to control flies. Gr33a[1]/Gr33a[GAL4] males show increased courtship towards passive, decapitated wild-type males compared to the behaviour of control males in this assay. However, courtship of the mutant males to decapitated or normal females is not significantly different from that of wild type. Wild-type males show a normal average time to mating when mated with Gr33a[1]/Gr33a[GAL4] females.
