DopEcRc02142 homozygous adults show an increased resistance to ethanol as compared to controls: they show an increased time until sedation, despite an apparently normal tolerance development following daily exposure; they also show suppression of a normal ethanol-induced disinhibition, as shown by the virtual lack of inter-male courtship upon continual exposure.
DopEcRc02142 homozygous and (to a lesser extent) heterozygous as well as DopEcRc02142/DopEcRGAL4 transheterozygous adults show resistance to ethanol-induced sedation: it takes significantly longer for them cease all movement upon ethanol exposure, although they begin to lose posture around the same time as controls. The ethanol absorption and metabolism of the mutants is normal. However, significantly fewer DopEcRc02142 mutants actually survive and recover from sedation.
Scer\GAL4unspecified-mediated expression of DopEcRdsRNA.Scer\UAS in a DopEcRc02142 background results in defects in the initiation of male courtship and in olfactory conditioning.
Homozygotes reach adulthood and have no gross morphological defects.
The short- and long-latency thresholds of the giant-fiber pathway in heterozygous, homozygous and DopEcRc02142/Df(3L)ED4341 flies is indistinguishable from that of controls. However, the refractory period is significantly reduced in homozygotes compared to controls and homozygotes and DopEcRc02142/Df(3L)ED4341 flies show a delay in habituation of the giant fiber pathway.
Homozygous and DopEcRc02142/Df(3L)ED4341 males lack 30-minute courtship memory in a courtship conditioning assay, although homozygotes show significant memory immediately after conditioning.
Unlike in wild type flies, DopEcRc02142 mutants do not show an increased sugar sensitive proboscis extension reflex (PER) in response to either L-Dopa feeding or 6 hours of wet starvation. The loss of response to L-Dopa is observed 48 hours after feeding, whereas the starvation response is observed at 6 hours, but is not seen after 24 hours.
DopEcRc02142 has chemical resistant | adult stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by EgfrKK100051/Scer\GAL4elav.PU
DopEcRc02142 is a suppressor of abnormal memory | adult stage phenotype of Pde4dnc-1
DopEcRc02142 is a suppressor of abnormal memory | adult stage phenotype of Pde4dnc-2
DopEcRc02142/DopEcRc02142 is a non-suppressor of abnormal sleep | heat sensitive phenotype of Scer\GAL4ple.PF, TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa
The increased resistance to ethanol-induced sedation characteristic for DopEcRc02142 homozygous adults is significantly suppressed by expression of EgfrKK100051 under the control of the Scer\GAL4elav.PU driver in the mutant background.
DopEcRc02142 restores 30-minute courtship memory in a courtship conditioning assay in dnc1 and dnc2 males.
The reduction in nighttime sleep seen in flies expressing TrpA1Scer\UAS.(B).cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF at 27[o]C is not suppressed by DopEcRc02142/DopEcRc02142.

DopEcRc02142 adults show a restored ethanol-induced disinhibition after adulthood-only, but not development-only, expression of DopEcRScer\UAS.cAa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.247, as shown by their normal increasing frequency of inter-male courtship upon continual exposure (temporal regulation of expression is achieved by the use of Gal80[ts]). A similar rescue is achieved upon expression under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.Switch.PK and RU486 treatment during adulthood.
Expression of DopEcRScer\UAS.cIb under the control of either Scer\GAL4DopEcR.588, Scer\GAL4c747 or Scer\GAL4c739 rescues courtship memory in DopEcRc02142 males a courtship conditioning assay.
Expression of DopEcRScer\UAS.cIb under the control of Scer\GAL4Tab2-201Y does not rescue courtship memory in DopEcRc02142 males a courtship conditioning assay.
Expression of DopEcRScer\UAS.cIa under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr5a.8.5 rescues the loss of the sugar-sensitive proboscis extension reflex (PER) seen in DopEcRc02142 mutants in response to 6 hours of wet starvation.
