UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The expression of mAChR-AJF02725 under the control of Scer\GAL4GH298 leads to antennal lobe inhibitory local neurons showing abolished post-tetanic potentiation-induced potentiation, irrespective of membrane potential, as well as abolished nicotine-induced potentiation.
Expression of mAChR-AJF02725 under the control of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107, Scer\GAL4Mef2.247, or the combination of Scer\GAL4Mef2.247, Ecol\lexAGMR44E04, and Scer\GAL80IVS.WPRE.8xlexAop, but not Scer\GAL4c305a, and not the combination of Scer\GAL4Mef2.247, Ecol\lexAGMR45H04 and Scer\GAL80IVS.WPRE.8xlexAop, significantly reduces short-term aversive olfactory memory in adults, compared to controls; in the case of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 there is no effect on naive odor or shock sensitivity and the memory defect is also seen when a Gal80[ts] transgene is used to restrict expression to the adult stage.
Expression of mAChR-AJF02725 under the control of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 significantly reduces the ability of larvae to form aversive associative olfactory memories in response to high salt concentration, with no defect in locomotion ability or olfactory acuity, compared to controls.
