Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Nlg4LL01874 mutant flies show significantly less total night sleep time and longer sleep onset latency, compared with control flies. Compared with wild-type, these mutants exhibit more night sleep episodes, with markedly shorter durations, reflecting poorly consolidated night sleep in Nlg4LL01874 mutants. Similar results are seen in Nlg4LL01874/Nlg4del transheterozygotes and Nlg4LL01874/Df(3R)BSC516 and Nlg4LL01874/Df(3R)BSC808 flies.

Large ventral clock neurons (l-LNvs) in Nlg4LL01874 mutant flies show similar electrophysiological properties as those from wild-type flies during the day, with tonic spontaneous AP firing and frequent spike bursts. l-LNvs in Nlg4LL01874 mutants are hyper-activated at night.

In Nlg4LL01874 mutant flies, l-LNv dendrite branches are distributed in a disordered fashion. Nlg4LL01874 mutant flies have a fewer varicosities in the optic lobe compared with wild-type flies.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The introduction of a RdlR-VL background successfully restores night sleep in Nlg4LL01874 mutants, indicating that the sleep defects observed in Nlg4LL01874 mutants are due to impaired GABA transmission.

Complementation and Rescue Data
Comments

Sleep defects, especially those in early evening sleep, in Nlg4LL01874 mutants, are restored through expression of Nlg4Scer\UAS.cLa in l-LNvs using Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf or Scer\GAL4dimm-929. However, expression in the fan-shaped body neurons (under the control of Scer\GAL4104Y) or under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF fails to rescue sleep defects in Nlg4LL01874 mutants.
