Expression of brpdsRNA.B.UAS and brpdsRNA.C.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF significantly reduces retinal depolarization level and ON transients, compared to controls; there is no effect on the transition of R7 photoreceptor axon terminals from filopodial to bouton-like structures during pupal development in MARCM clones of this genotype, compared to controls.

Knockdown of brp by expression of brpdsRNA.B.Scer\UAS alone or in combination with brpdsRNA.C.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 does not cause a conspicuous morphological change of the mushroom body.

Knockdown of brp in Kenyon cells through expression of brpdsRNA.B.Scer\UAS alone or in combination with brpdsRNA.C.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 significantly impairs memory measured at three hours after training. Anesthesia-resistant memory is affected, while anesthesia-sensitive memory is not affected. brpdsRNA.B.Scer\UAS expression under the control of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107, Scer\GAL4Mef2.247 or Scer\GAL4c739 does not lead to a significant reduction of avoidance of electric shock or odors compared with the corresponding controls.

Knockdown of brp in Kenyon cells through expression of brpdsRNA.B.Scer\UAS in combination with brpdsRNA.C.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 significantly impairs aversive olfactory short-term memory testing at 5 minutes after training.

Knockdown of brp in Kenyon cells through expression of brpdsRNA.B.Scer\UAS in combination with brpdsRNA.C.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107, Scer\GAL4Mef2.247 or Scer\GAL4c739 causes a significant defect in anesthesia-resistant memory. Addition of Scer\GAL80Mef2.PT significantly improves anesthesia-resistant memory in Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 and Scer\GAL4c739-driven knockdowns.

Depending on the insertion, flies that express brpdsRNA.B.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF have a rough eye phenotype or normal eye morphology. One brpdsRNA.B.Scer\UAS insertion expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 causes embryonic lethality while another insertion is viable.

The locomotor activity of flies expressing brpdsRNA.B.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is reduced compared to wild-type flies.

Knockdown of brp by expression of brpdsRNA.B.Scer\UAS alone or in combination with brpdsRNA.C.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 in a rut2080 mutant background results in a significantly larger memory defect tahn in either knockdown/mutant alone. Unlike controls, these flies show no detectable memory at 3 hours. The avoidance of shock and odors is not significantly impaired in these flies.
