UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of Obp49a, followed by the Tag:MYC tag and finally a transmembrane domain (Tag:TM(hPDGFRB)) to tether it to the membrane.
Flies expressing Obp49aScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC,T:Hsap\TM-PDGFRB under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr5a.PUn show normal repulsion to each of the bitter tastants berberine, denatonium, quinine or caffeine in a two-way choice taste assay.
Obp49aUAS.Tag:MYC,Tag:TM(hPDGFRB)/Scer\GAL4Gr33a-GAL4 fails to rescue Obp49aD
Obp49aUAS.Tag:MYC,Tag:TM(hPDGFRB)/Scer\GAL4nompA.cK fails to rescue Obp49aD
Expression of Obp49aScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC,T:Hsap\TM-PDGFRB under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr5a.PUn, but not under the control of either Scer\GAL4Gr33a-GAL4 or Scer\GAL4nompA.cK, restores the impaired avoidance of bitter compounds (berberine, denatonium, quinine or caffeine) seen in Obp49aD flies in a two-way choice assay.
