A 771 base pair fragment from the flanking non-coding or intronic region of AlstR is fused upstream of a Drosophila core synthetic promoter (DSCP) followed by sequence encoding a lexA::p65 driver. The driver sequence has been optimized for Drosophila codon usage. An Hsp70 transcriptional terminator is present.
The silencing of Ecol\lexAGMR23E10-expressing neurons through Hsap\KCNJ2lexAop.EGFP expression (Ecol\lexAGMR23E10>Hsap\KCNJ2lexAop.EGFP) does not affect sleep duration, as compared to controls.
Ecol\lexAGMR23E10/TrpA1lexAop.cUa is a suppressor | partially of decreased sleep | adult stage phenotype of IM33HMS04250, Scer\GAL4repo
Ecol\lexAGMR23E10/TrpA1lexAop.cUa is a suppressor | partially of abnormal sleep | adult stage phenotype of IM33HMS04250, Scer\GAL4repo
Ecol\lexAGMR23E10/TrpA1lexAop.cUa is a non-suppressor of short lived | male phenotype of IM33HMS04250, Scer\GAL4repo
Hsap\KCNJ2lexAop.EGFP/Ecol\lexAGMR23E10 is a non-suppressor of abnormal sleep | RU486 conditional phenotype of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO, nurUAS.Tag:FLAG,Tag:HA
The increased sleep induced by conditional adulthood-only expression of nurUAS.Tag:FLAG,Tag:HA under the combined control of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO and RU486 feeding is not suppressed by silencing Ecol\lexAGMR23E10-expressing neurons through Hsap\KCNJ2lexAop.EGFP expression (Ecol\lexAGMR23E10>Hsap\KCNJ2lexAop.EGFP).
Although alleles from the Janelia Farm lexA driver collection incorporate the same enhancer fragments used to create the Janelia Farm GAL4 driver alleles (GMR_Brain_exp_1), significant differences are frequently observed in the expression pattern of a given enhancer fragment inserted in the P{CaryP}attP40 or other docking site compared to the same fragment inserted in the P{CaryP}attP2 docking site. Generally the Ecol\lexA patterns are subsets of the Scer\GAL4 patterns.
