UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of DopEcRKK111211 under the control of Scer\GAL4da.PU leads to significant resistance to ethanol-induced sedation (the flies take longer to cease all movements upon sedation compared to controls). Using tub-Gal80[ts] to limit the time of RNAi expression to the developmental stage - i.e. before eclosion - does not affect sedation sensitivity in the adults, whereas RNAi knockdown after eclosion does increase resistance to ethanol-induced sedation. The increased resistance to sedation is also observed in flies expressing DopEcRKK111211 under the control of any of these drivers: Scer\GAL4elav.PU, Scer\GAL4ChAT.PU or Scer\GAL4dimm-929 but no significant effect is seen when the RNAi is driven by any of the following: Scer\GAL4c747, Scer\GAL4ple.PU or Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PU.
Expression of DopEcRKK111211 driven by Scer\GAL4GMR23E10 does not significantly affect sleep amount per day, compared to controls.
Males expressing DopEcRKK111211 under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.Switch.PK in the presence of RU486 lack 30-minute courtship memory in a courtship conditioning assay. This defect is not suppressed if the males are fed 0.1mM 20-hydroxy-ecdysone immediately prior to conditioning.
Males expressing DopEcRKK111211 under the control of either Scer\GAL4c747 or Scer\GAL4c739 lack 30-minute courtship memory in a courtship conditioning assay.
Unlike in wild type, female flies expressing DopEcRKK111211 under the control of the pan-neuronal driver Scer\GAL4n-syb.PS do not show an increase in sugar-sensitive proboscis extension reflex (PER) in response to L-Dopa feeding. The same effect is seen when DopEcRKK111211 is expressed in Gr5a gustatory receptor neurons (GRNs) under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr5a.8.5. A greater proportion of flies expressing DopEcRKK111211 under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr5a.8.5 also exhibit a PER following 6 hours of wet starvation.
DopEcRKK111211, Scer\GAL4αTub84B.Switch.PK has abnormal memory | adult stage | RU486 conditional phenotype, suppressible by dnc1
Scer\GAL4da.PU/DopEcRKK111211 is a suppressor of chemical sensitive | adult stage | temperature conditional phenotype of mldDTS3-1
DopEcRKK111211, Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is a suppressor | partially of abnormal locomotor behavior | adult stage | progressive phenotype of Hsap\HTTNT.128Q.UAS, Scer\GAL4elav-C155
DopEcRKK111211, Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is a suppressor | partially of abnormal locomotor behavior | adult stage | progressive phenotype of Hsap\HTT200Q.UAS, Scer\GAL4elav-C155
DopEcRKK111211/Scer\GAL4αTub84B.Switch.PK is a suppressor | RU486 conditional of abnormal memory | adult stage phenotype of dnc2
The increased sensitivity of mldDTS3-1/+ heterozygote adults (reared at 18[o]C during development and transferred to 29[o]C after eclosion) to ethanol-induced sedation is suppressed by expression of DopEcRKK111211 under the control of Scer\GAL4da.PU in the mutant background. The double mutants display increased resistance to ethanol sedation which is close to that seen in DopEcRKK111211 RNAi flies alone.
Males expressing DopEcRKK111211 under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.Switch.PK in a dnc1 background in the presence of RU486 show 30-minute courtship memory in a courtship conditioning assay.
The accelerated age-progressive decline of locomotor ability of adult flies expressing either Hsap\HTTNT.128Q.Scer\UAS or Hsap\HTT200Q.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is strongly improved by co-expression of DopEcRKK111211.
DopEcRKK111211 is partially rescued by Scer\GAL4da.PU/DopEcRUAS.cIb
The increased resistance to ethanol-induced sedation characteristic for adult flies expressing DopEcRKK111211 under the control of Scer\GAL4da.PU is partially suppressed by co-expression of DopEcRScer\UAS.cIb.
