Flies expressing Gr28bScer\UAS.D under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU become incapacitated when placed at 37[o]C for three minutes, recovering when returned to 23[o]C.
Expression of Gr28bScer\UAS.D under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr5a.8.5 produces gustatory bristle receptor responses in response to warming. Warming to 32[o]C also produces a proboscis extension response.
Unlike in wild type, expression of Gr28bScer\UAS.D in motor neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371 induces warmth-responsive excitatory junction potentials at the neuromuscular junction. Motor neurons expressing Gr28bScer\UAS.D under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW exhibit warmth-responsive inward currents.
Gr28bUAS.D/Scer\GAL4Gr28b.d.PT is a suppressor | partially of abnormal temperature response phenotype of TrpA1ins
Gr28bUAS.D/Scer\GAL4Gr28b.d.PT is a suppressor of abnormal temperature response phenotype of TrpA1ins
Expression of Gr28bScer\UAS.D in the arista under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr28b.d.PT significantly rescues the "rapid negative thermotaxis" defects seen in TrpA1ins mutant flies.
Expression of Gr28bScer\UAS.D under the control of either Scer\GAL4Gr28b.d.PT or Scer\GAL4hot-cell rescues the "rapid negative thermotaxis" defects seen in Gr28bMB03888 mutant flies.
