Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR DskScer\UAS.cCa males perform more high intensity fighting behaviours compared to controls in male aggression assays. Feeding these males with the Dsk/CCK antagonist SR27897 induced severe intermittent jump behaviours and eliminates fighting behaviour.
Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR DskScer\UAS.cCa males are hyperactive compared to controls. The severity of this phenotype is reduced if flies are fed Dsk/CCK antagonist SR27897.
Male flies expressing DskScer\UAS.cCa via Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR or Scer\GAL4elav-C155 do not eat significantly more/less food ad lib than controls in a 24 hr period.
Overexpression of DskScer\UAS.cCa driven by Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is unable to rescue the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) undergrowth phenotype of Df(1)Exel9051/Y.
Overexpression of DskScer\UAS.cCa driven by any one of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu or Scer\GAL4how-24B has no effect on NMJ morphology.
DskUAS.cCa rescues Dskf02468b
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) undergrowth phenotype of homozygous Dskf02468b larvae is rescued by Scer\GAL4elav-C155-driven expression of DskScer\UAS.cCa.
