Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene amnesiac is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\amn (CG11937, FBgn0086782). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: neuropeptide hormone activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: olfactory learning; perineurial glial growth; learning or memory; memory; response to heat; medium-term memory; antimicrobial humoral response; behavioral response to ethanol; behavioral response to pain. 85 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: mushroom body calyx; eye; central nervous system; surface associated glial cell; embryonic/larval heart; bouton; Kenyon cell; intersegmental nerve; wing vein. It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very low expression to a trough of no expression detected. Peak expression observed at stages throughout embryogenesis, during early larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult male stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: No expression detected in any larval or adult organs/tissues. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1625930_at completely aligns to an exonic region of the only FlyBase-annotated transcript isoform of amn. Gene sequence location is X:19780141..19784093.

amn: amnesiac (J.C. Hall)
Homozygous or hemizygous mutant flies can be conditioned to avoid odors associated with electric shocks, but effects of conditioning decay with a half life of 15 min compared to 60 min for normal. Memory decay biphasic; rapid for first hour and slow thereafter (Tully). Substitution of reward (1.0 M sucrose) for punishment (electric shock) lengthens memory span from one hour to six hours (Tempel, Bonini, Dawson, and Quinn, 1983, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 80: 1482-86). Groups of amn flies exhibit apparently abnormal acquisition of learning in tests using visual cues (Folkers, 1982, J. Insect. Physiol. 28: 535-39); it appears that short-term memory is defective in the mutant (in shock-odor tests), with long-term memory being normal (Tully and Quinn, 1985, J. Comp. Physiol. 157: 263-77); in experiments involving "operant" conditioning, with heat as the aversive unconditioned stimulus, amn exhibits a small decrement in learning per se and subsequently has no detectable memory (Mariath, 1985, J. Insect Physiol. 31: 779-81). In tests of "simple learning," amnesiac individuals habituate to or are sensitized by sugar stimuli subnormally; the sensitization defect maps to the same proximal locus as that affecting associative conditioning (Duerr and Quinn, 1982, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 79: 3646-50). The effects on courtship behavior or preexposure to fertilized females decay more rapidly in amnesiac than in normal males (Siegel and Hall, 1979, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 76: 3430-34; Ackerman and Siegel, 1986, J. Neurogenet. 3: 111-23), but amnesiac males are defective in expressing after-effects of exposure to immature wild-type males when tested immediately after such exposure (Gailey, Jackson, and Siegel, 1982, Genetics 102: 771-82). Females defective in ability to be primed by courtship song (Kyriacou and Hall, 1984, Nature (London) 308: 62-65).

The expression pattern of amn, together with targetted mutant phenotypic analysis suggests a modulatory role for amn in memory formation. amn neuropeptide release from the dorsal paired medial cells onto the mushroom bodies is critical for normal olfactory memory.
amn plays a role in memory as well as ethanol tolerance, but adult memory formation and ethanol sensitivity have different temporal and spatial requirements for amn function.
The larval CNS and neuromuscular junctions have a PACAP-like immunoreactivity. Antibodies raised against mammalian PACAP38 identify a polypeptide of a similar size. Pacap38 may induce two temporally separated muscle responses: an early depolarisation and a late modulation of voltage-activated potassium currents. Muscle response is evoked by a high frequency stimulation of larval motor axons.
Synaptic current and modulation of K+ current triggered by Pacap38 are mediated by coactivation of the Ras/Raf (Ras85D/phl) and rut cyclase pathways.
Homozygous or hemizygous mutant flies can be conditioned to avoid odors associated with electric shocks, but effects of conditioning decay with a half life of 15 min compared to 60 min for normal. Memory decay biphasic; rapid for first hour and slow thereafter.
Mutations in amn significantly reduce the females song memory after prestimulation with courtship hums. This suggests a simple sensitization process may be involved with the female pulse song memory (FBrf0041559).
Memory retention curves and retrograde amnesia experiments suggest the amn mutations interferes with early memory formation.
Females defective in ability to be primed by courtship song.
Substitution of reward (1.0 M sucrose) for punishment (electric shock) lengthens memory span from one hour to six hours.
amn males are defective in expressing after-effects of exposure to immature wild-type males when tested immediately after such exposure.
The effects on courtship behavior or pre-exposure to fertilized females decay more rapidly in amn than in normal males.
