Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

When Spt-IC129W.Scer\UAS is expressed with Scer\GAL4ppk.PG, transgenic animals show defective nociception response. The expression of Spt-IC129W.Scer\UAS significantly increases the nociceptive response temperature compared with wild-type.

Pan-neuronal (Scer\GAL4elav.PU) expression of Spt-IC129W.Scer\UAS results in no change in synaptic bouton number at larval muscle 6/7, hemisegment A3 neuromuscular junction compared with wild-type.

In the presence of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL>Spt-IC129W.Scer\UAS, enrichment of alanine in the larval diet is toxic and can be alleviated by increasing serine dietary abundance.

Expression of Spt-IC129W.Scer\UAS using Scer\GAL4ppk.PG results in secretory and membrane dysfunction in sensory neurons.

Expression of Spt-IC129W.Scer\UAS using Scer\GAL4ppk.PG produces subtle, yet statistically significant reduction in dendrite arborization compared with wild-type.

Introduction of heterozygous Spt-ISH1626 in the presence of Spt-IC129W.Scer\UAS and the pan-neuronal driver Scer\GAL4elav.PU induces a 50% reduction of bouton numbers compared with wild-type.

Introduction of heterozygous lacek05305 in the presence of Spt-IC129W.Scer\UAS and the pan-neuronal driver Scer\GAL4elav.PU induces a 50% reduction of bouton numbers compared with wild-type.

Co-expression of Rab1Q70L.Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Avic\GFP-YFP completely restores the nociceptive defect observed with Spt-IC129W.Scer\UAS expression using Scer\GAL4ppk.PG.
