Deletion in the first exon of the dnc[RA] transcript (extending from -2148 to +71 relative to the transcription start site of dnc[RA]). This reduces the level of the dnc[RA] transcript almost to zero, slightly reduces dnc[RL] expression and does not affect the expression of the other dnc transcript groups.
2219 bp deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{EP}dncEP973. The deleton removes sequences from -2148 to +71 relative to the transcription start site of dnc-RA. Deletion was mapped against the dnc-RA tss in R6.16 .
Upon initial exposition, dncΔ143 adult mutants show ethanol sensitivity that is comparable to wild-type controls but exhibit reduced development of tolerance (= increase in resistance during re-exposition) as well as decreased heat-induced ethanol resistance normally observed in wild-type flies.
Pde4Δ143 has chemical sensitive | adult stage phenotype, suppressible by hangAE10
Pde4Δ143 is a non-enhancer of chemical sensitive | adult stage phenotype of hangAE10
Pde4Δ143 is a suppressor of chemical sensitive | adult stage phenotype of hangAE10
The reduced heat-induced ethanol (EtOH) resistance characteristic for hangAE10 mutant adults is not exacerbated further by combination with dncΔ143 which on its own also lead to a decrease in the heat > ethanol cross-tolerance.
hangAE10;dncΔ143 double mutant adult flies display normal ethanol tolerance development upon re-exposition to EtOH, unlike each of the single mutants that show significantly reduced tolerance buildout.

The reduced ability of dncΔ143 mutant adults to develop tolerance to ethanol upon re-exposition is rescued by expression of dncScer\UAS.all when driven by either Scer\GAL4dnc.RA (alone or combined with Scer\GAL80ple.PK to restrict the expression pattern) or Scer\GAL4NP6510 but not when driven by Scer\GAL4GMR58E02. The tolerance buildout can also be rescued by Scer\GAL4dnc.RA-driven expression of dncScer\UAS.RA.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP but not dncScer\UAS.RG.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP or dncScer\UAS.RL.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP.
