Expression is observed in the sensory neurons of the third antennal segment and throughout the adult antennal lobe. Expression is also observed in all lobes of the adult mushroom body.
stmArev499/stmA1 mutants carrying stmAS358A.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP are viable.
stmAEGFP rescues stmA1/Df(2R)H3D3
stmAEGFP rescues stmA1/stmArev499
stmAEGFP rescues stmA1/stmArev499
stmAEGFP fails to rescue stmArev499
Endocytosis, which is defective in stmA1 animals, is restored to wildtype levels in stmA1/stmArev499; stmAT:Avic\GFP-EGFP/stmAT:Avic\GFP-EGFP animals.
A single copy of stmAT:Avic\GFP-EGFP fully recues the behavioural paralysis found in all of the homozygous stmA1, heterozygous stmA1/stmArev499, stmA1/stmA18-2, and stmA1/Df(2R)H3D3 mutants.
The temperature sensitive electroretinogram defect seen in stmA1/stmArev499 flies at 37oC is completely rescued by stmAT:Avic\GFP-EGFP.
