UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of ActβGD3157 in the eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.long significantly expands the dendritic field size of Dm8 neurons as compared to wild type. As in wild type the Dm8 neurons are routed to the M6 layer. Expression of ActβGD3157 in photoreceptors also causes abnormal dendritic patterning in about 20% of the Tm20 neurons: that is, Tm20 dendrites fail to remain in their cognate column and, instead, extend into neighboring columns. Expression of ActβGD3157 in rhabdomere R8 under the control of Scer\GAL4sens.F2 causes similar, but somewhat weaker, dendritic patterning defects in Tm20 neurons.
Adults expressing ActβGD3157 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.
ActβGD3157, Scer\GAL4GMR.long is a non-enhancer of abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype of Scer\GAL4GMR.long, gogoScer\UAS.T1
ActβGD3157, Scer\GAL4GMR.long is a non-enhancer of transmedullary neuron Tm20 phenotype of Scer\GAL4GMR.long, gogoScer\UAS.T1
Expression of ActβGD3157 does not significantly enhance the Tm20 dendritic patterning defects seen when rhabdomere R8 terminals are stalled in medulla layer M1 through expression of gogoFL.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.long.
