PBac{GAL4D,EYFP} insertion within the second intron.
Homozygous 5-HT2APL00052 larvae have a significant reduction in aversive (salt), but not appetitive (fructose) olfactory memory, compared to controls, with no effect on naive preference for olfactory or gustatory stimuli.
Unlike wild type, 5-HT2APL00052 larvae are resistant to 100μM metitepine, and show relatively higher feeding rates when fed with this drug.
Unlike wild type, 5-HT2APL00052/5-HT2AGal4 larvae are resistant to 100μM metitepine, and show relatively higher feeding rates when fed with this drug.
5-HT2PL00052 mutants exhibit an approximate 50% reduction in short-term memory.
5-HT2PL00052 mutants do not exhibit a deficit in odor or shock reactivity.
Flies homozygous for 5-HT2PL00052 do not show increases in activity in the first half of the day in response to 3mM (R)-DOI ((R)-1-2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl-2-aminopropane), unlike control flies. Homozygotes show a reduction in anticipatory behaviour in response to 3mM (R)-DOI, but the behaviour is not eliminated.
