hppy17-51 mutants exhibit a decrease in ethanol sensitivity compared to controls.
Mutant flies show marked resistance to ethanol-induced sedation compared to control flies.
Mutant flies show normal locomotor behaviour and negative geotaxis.
hppy17-51 has chemical resistant phenotype, suppressible by aru8.128
hppy17-51 is a suppressor of chemical sensitive phenotype of EgfrGD1654, Scer\GAL4elav-C155
hppy17-51 is a non-suppressor of chemical sensitive phenotype of aru8.128
The increased sensitivity to ethanol-induced sedation caused by expression of EgfrGD1654 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is completely suppressed by hppy17-51.
Precise excision of the P{GawB} element reverts the mutant phenotype.
