UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Temporal expression of Gad1GD8508 under the control of Scer\GAL4VT064246 during adulthood (by using Gal80[ts]) decreases olfactory medium term memory (1h) when the experiment is carried out in crowded conditions (groups of 32 flies - socially facilitated memory).
Expression of Gad1GD8508 (together with UAS-Dicer2 to enhance RNAi efficiency) under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR41E11 results in defects in sensing food hardness as the flies show diminished preference for softer food to harder food (at the expense of sweetness) compared to controls.
Expression of Gad1GD8508 under the control of Scer\GAL4dimm-929 does not affect sensitivity to (S,Z,Z)-CH503 (a more potent stereoisomer of the gustatory sex pheromone CH503). As in wild type flies, courtship defects are seen in response to (S,Z,Z)-CH503.
Expression of Gad1GD8508 under the control of Scer\GAL45-HT1B.PY impairs the inhibition of female contact-induced male-male aggression seen in wild type males that have previously been exposed to females.
Adults expressing Gad1GD8508 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.
Flies expressing Gad1GD8508 in the mushroom body anterior paired lateral (MB-APL) neuron, under the control of Scer\GAL4GH146 show a significant enhancement of performance after olfactory classical conditioning.
Flies expressing Gad1GD8508 in the mushroom body anterior paired lateral (MB-APL) neuron, under the control of Scer\GAL4GH146 that also express Scer\GAL80Cha.PK, which eliminates expression in the MB-APL, fail to show enhanced learning after olfactory classical conditioning.
