UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of ApplGD3170 under the control of Scer\GAL4VT064246 (using tub-Gal80[ts] to limit the expression to adulthood) results in significantly reduced middle- as well as long-term memory compared to controls (tested in an aversive olfactory memory assay 2hr and 24hr post-training, respectively), but their learning performance is not affected.
After massed conditioning comprising five consecutive repeated cycles of training, scores at 24 hours are not significantly different when ApplG3.dsRNA.Scer\UAS is expressed until the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.247.Switch.
Adults expressing ApplGD3170 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
