Flies expressing kayNIG.15507R under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf under constant darkness conditions show a lengthening of the locomotor activity period by approximately 1 hour compared to controls. The period lengthening is increased to approximately 1.5 hours if the flies also carry Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa (to increase RNAi efficiency), and the proportion of arrhythmic flies is also increased.
s-LNv neurons develop normally in flies expressing kayNIG.15507R under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa.
Expression of kayNIG.15507R using Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 results in axon overextension.
Dcr-2UAS.cDa, Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf, kayNIG.15507R has abnormal locomotor rhythm phenotype, non-suppressible by PdfUAS.cRa, Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf
Dcr-2UAS.cDa, Scer\GAL4ey-OK107, kayNIG.15507R has abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype
Dcr-2UAS.cDa, Scer\GAL4ey-OK107, kayNIG.15507R has axon phenotype
Dcr-2UAS.cDa, Scer\GAL4ey-OK107, kayNIG.15507R has Kenyon cell phenotype
The long period phenotype seen in flies expressing kayNIG.15507R under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa (which increases RNAi efficiency) is not rescued by co-expression of PdfScer\UAS.cRa.
Expression of kayNIG.15507R and Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa using Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 results in axon degeneration.
kayNIG.15507R is not rescued by Dcr-2UAS.cDa/Dpse\kayUAS.trunc/Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf
Co-expression of kay::Dpse\kayScer\UAS.α rescues the long period phenotype seen in flies expressing kayNIG.15507R under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa (which increases RNAi efficiency).
Co-expression of Dpse\kayScer\UAS.trunc fails to rescue the long period phenotype seen in flies expressing kayNIG.15507R under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa (which increases RNAi efficiency).
