ScerGAL4GMR52F05 drives expression mainly in antennal mechanosensory and motor center local AMMC-AMMC 1 neuron, but also drives expression in approximately six cells in the gnathal ganglion and several lineages within the terminal abdominal nerve.
Inhibition (using Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS) of Scer\GAL4GMR52F05 cells significantly reduces larval escape behavior in response to HCl application, compared to controls.
Optogenetic activation (using Crei\ChR1::Vcar\ChR1::Vcar\ChR2ReaChR.UAS.Citrine with 617 nm (red) light) of Scer\GAL4GMR52F05 cells in larvae results in significant induction of nociceptive rolling behavior in the absence of nociceptive stimuli, compared to controls; this no longer occurs when activation is restricted to a smaller subset of Scer\GAL4GMR52F05 cells using Ecol\lexAGMR94B10 and Scer\GAL80IVS.WPRE.8xlexAop.
Inhibition (using shi1.UAS at 30[o]C) of Scer\GAL4GMR52F05 neurons in adult females does not significantly affect receptivity to mating, compared to controls; in males, courtship pulse song-induced locomotion is not significantly affected, compared to controls.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 27[o]C) of Scer\GAL4GMR52F05 neurons in adult females does not significantly affect receptivity to mating, compared to controls.
Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS/Scer\GAL4GMR52F05 is a suppressor | partially of abnormal pain response | larval stage | conditional phenotype of Crei\ChR1::Vcar\ChR1::Vcar\ChR2ReaChR.lexAop.Citrine, Ecol\lexAppk.PE
