UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a mutated Ctet\TeTxLC gene fragment (carries the amino acid replacement E234Q).
Expression of Ctet\TeTxLCIMPTNT-Q.Scer\UAS in Rh5-specific photoreceptors under the control of Scer\GAL4Rh5.PT does not affect larval response to light or head swinging behaviour (in response to light stimulation).
Expression of Ctet\TeTxLCIMPTNT-Q.Scer\UAS in Rh6-specific photoreceptors under the control of Scer\GAL4Rh6.PD does not affect larval response to light or head swinging behaviour (in response to light stimulation).
Larvae expressing Ctet\TeTxLCIMPTNT-Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4109(2)80 show normal thermotactic behaviour in a thermal preference assay.
Males expressing Ctet\TeTxLCIMPTNT-Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.247 show elevated levels of aggression.
Flies expressing Ctet\TeTxLCIMPTNT-Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF show no visual impairment. Flies expressing Ctet\TeTxLCIMPTNT-Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4rdgC.PK show no defects in flight initiation.
Scer\GAL4 mediated expression has no effect on viability.
