Expression of Dop1R1Scer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 has no effect on viability.
Scer\GAL4c747-mediated expression of Dop1R1Scer\UAS.cLa results in significantly enhanced learning after aversive olfactory conditioning (flies trained to associate odors with an electric shock).
Dop1R1UAS.cLa, Scer\GAL4c747 has abnormal learning phenotype, non-enhanceable by RdlRNAi.4-5.UAS, Scer\GAL4c747
Co-expression of Dop1R1Scer\UAS.cLa and RdldsRNA.4-5.Scer\UAS does not result in further enhancement of learning after aversive olfactory conditioning compared to expression of either single transgene.
Dop1R1UAS.cLa/Scer\GAL4c305a fails to rescue Dop1R1f02676
Dop1R1UAS.cLa/Scer\GAL4c739 fails to rescue Dop1R1f02676
Expression of Dop1R1Scer\UAS.cLa in mostly the γ (with Scer\GAL4NP1131 or Scer\GAL4Tab2-201Y), but not the αβ (Scer\GAL4c739) or α'β' (Scer\GAL4c305a) mushroom body neurons, produces a significant restoration of memory performance and learning in Dop1R1f02676 mutants. Despite Dop1R1f02676 flies exhibiting an apparent olfactory acuity defect, restoration of olfaction through expression of Dop1R1Scer\UAS.cLa with the Scer\GAL4c305a and Scer\GAL4c739 drivers, does not correlate with wild-type learning ability.
