Compared to wild-types, the conductance versus voltage (G-V) relationship is shifted in the depolarizing direction as a result of Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR-driven expression of SlobScer\UAS.cSa in pars intercerebralis (PI-1) neurons.
In contrast to wild-type controls, single slo channels in pars intercerebralis (PI-1) neurons appear to be closed most of the time, opening only occasionally and briefly in flies expressing Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR-driven SlobScer\UAS.cSa.
Compared to wild-type controls, action potential duration is increased in PI-1 neurons in flies in which transgenic SlobScer\UAS.cSa is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR as a result of a change in the rate of repolarization.
Compared to wild-types, the proportion of outward current blocked by the potassium channel blocker tetraethylammonium (TEA) is decreased in flies expressing Scer\GAL4cenB1A-Mai301-driven SlobScer\UAS.cSa.
Scer\GAL4how-24B/SlobUAS.cSa fails to rescue Slobmut-IP1
Expression of SlobScer\UAS.cSa under the control of either Scer\GAL4Act.PU or Scer\GAL41407 rescues the excitatory junctional current (EJC) peak amplitude of Slobmut-IP1 neuromuscular junctions to wild-type levels, and also restores the frequency and amplitude of spontaneous miniature mEJCs to normal.
Expression of SlobScer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B does not rescue the electrophysiological defects at the Slobmut-IP1 neuromuscular junction.
The outward current phenotype observed in Slobmut-IP1 mutants is rescued by Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR-driven expression of SlobScer\UAS.cSa.
The outward current phenotype observed in mutants expressing SlobdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4cenB1A-Mai301 is rescued by co-expressing SlobScer\UAS.cSa.
