UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of the "TRPA1(A)" isoform. Note that the isoform referred to as TRPA1(A) in FBrf0222493 is similar to that called "TRPA1-D" in FBrf0217493, except that "TRPA1(A)" has an additional N-terminal amino acids.
Expression of TrpA1Scer\UAS.(A).cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr5a.8.5 confers sensitivity to N-methylmaleimide in L-type labellar taste bristles (robust spiking is seen in a in an extracellular tip recording assay in response to 10mM N-methylmaleimide). The L-type taste bristles are not thermosensitive in these animals.
TrpA1UAS.(A).cKa/Scer\GAL4Gr28b.d.PT is a non-suppressor of abnormal temperature response phenotype of Gr28bMB03888
Expression of TrpA1Scer\UAS.(A).cKa in the arista under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr28b.d.PT does not rescue the "rapid negative thermotaxis" defects seen in Gr28bMB03888 mutant flies.
TrpA1UAS.(A).cKa/Scer\GAL4TrpA1.C-D partially rescues TrpA1ins
Expression of TrpA1Scer\UAS.(A).10b under the control of Scer\GAL4TrpA1.C-D is unable to rescue the uracil-dependent defecation defect, but is able to rescue the N-methylmaleimide-dependent defecation defect of TrpA1ins mutants.
Expression of TrpA1Scer\UAS.(A).cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr66a.PD restores an electrophysiological spiking response to N-methylmaleimide in berberine-sensitive i-type taste bristles in the labellum in TrpA1ins flies. Sensitivity to warming is not restored.
Expression of TrpA1Scer\UAS.(A).cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr66a.PD rescues avoidance of food containing N-methylmaleimide in TrpA1ins flies.
