Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

In contrast to wild-type, flies homozygous for Or67dGAL4-2 have no spontaneous firing of olfactory neurons within a single at1 trichoid sensillum. The mutant at1 neurons are insensitive to the male-specific pheromone 11-cis-vaccenyl acetate (cVA).

Or67dGAL4-2 males paired with wild-type males show a significantly higher male-male courtship index than that of control males paired with wild-type males.

The male pheromone cVA ([Z]-11-octadecenyl acetate) elicits a rapid and robust firing response in the T1 trichoid sensilla of control flies but not in those of Or67dGAL4-2 flies. Male and female Or67dGAL4-2 flies do not produce a detectable electroretinogram response to cVA (in contrast to controls), but they show a normal electroretinogram response to ethanol.

When paired with virgin females, Or67dGAL4-2 males court at levels comparable to those of control males. However, when Or67dGAL4-2 males are paired with wild-type males, they show a roughly threefold higher courtship activity than control males paired with wild-type males.

Or67dGAL4-2 females mated to wild-type males show a higher latency to copulation than control females mated to wild-type males.

Virgin Or67dGAL4-2 females are courted as vigorously as control females when paired with wild-type males.

Flies homozygous for Or67dGAL4-2 and expressing Scer\GAL4Or67d-GAL4-2>Or83cScer\UAS.cRa show restored spontaneous activity in at1 neurons, but to a distinct higher average firing rate. The mutant neurons expressing Or83cScer\UAS.cRa remain insensitive to the male-specific pheromone 11-cis-vaccenyl acetate (cVA), similar to Or67dGAL4-2 mutants.
