Amino acid replacement: Y492A.
Amino acid replacement: F494A.
A modified orb2 genomic fragment has been inserted into the attP site present in orb2attP via phiC31-mediated recombination. The resulting allele contains an insertion of a single nucleotide in the A isoform specific exon, which disrupts the the orb2A isoform but leaves the orb2B isoform (which is tagged at the C-terminal end with GFP) intact. In addition, four point mutations have been introduced into the orb2 RBD domain, resulting in the amino acid changes Y492A, F494A, R601A and F604A. A single mFRT11 site is present downstream of the orb2 coding sequence, and single attL and attR sites (generated during the recombination process) are also present.
Amino acid replacement: R601A.
Amino acid replacement: R604A.

orb2RBDΔA.T:Avic\GFP/orb2::Mmus\Cpeb2RBD.T:Avic\GFP male flies have almost no long term 24 hour memory when exposed to a courtship conditioning paradigm. Unlike wild type flies, males that experience futile courtship of mated and therefore unreceptive females fail to suppress their courtship towards other mated females.
