UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The only 'high intensity fighting' (HIF) behaviour shown in male-male aggression assays by flies expressing KtlJF01869 via Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR, whereas controls also shown wing threats and lunging. Unlike controls, feeding the mutant flies the 5-HT agonist 8-OH-DPAT does not change their HIF aggression pattern.
Male flies expressing KtlJF01869 via Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR that are fed the 5-HT agonist 8-OH-DPAT show a similar decrease in courtship singing behaviour as controls.
Male flies expressing KtlJF01869 via Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR show (i) a substantial decrease in abdomen curling latency; (ii) a significantly higher courtship index; and (iii) an increase in the tendency to attempt copulation in male-female courtship assays.
Male flies expressing KtlJF01869 via Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR show considerably more locomotor activity compared to controls.
Male flies expressing KtlJF01869 via Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR have slightly more sleep bouts of significantly shorter length during the day and night, compared to controls.
Male flies expressing KtlJF01869 via Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR show normal circadian activity rhythm.
