UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of GABA-B-R1KK109166 (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.
RNAi using GABA-B-R1KK109166 in neurons targeted by the Split-GAL4 combination of Scer\GAL4dsx-GAL4-DBD and Hsim\VP16AD.VGlut.OK371.T:Zzzz\Zip+,T:SV40\nls-largeT does not significantly affect the percentage of successful copulations or male fertility or copulation duration, compared to genetic controls.
Expression of GABA-B-R1KK109166 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.
