Pan-neuronal expression of dysbScer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 results in an increase in excitatory junctional current amplitude in the larval neuromuscular junction. Adult flies exhibit defects in memory retention following exposure to an odor previously associated without electric shock. A similar defect in memory is seen when dysbScer\UAS.cSa is expressed in glutamatergic neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371.
Scer\GAL4elav-C155/DysbUAS.cSa partially rescues Dysbe01028
DysbUAS.cSa/Scer\GAL4repo partially rescues Dysbe01028
Expression of dysbScer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 rescues the attenuated excitatory junctional currents recorded in the larval neuromuscular junction in dysbe01028 mutants. The short term memory defects are also rescued. The locomotor and mating disorientation phenotypes are not rescued, nor is the dopamine level in dysbe01028 mutant heads.
Expression of dysbScer\UAS.cSa in glia under the control of Scer\GAL4repo fails to rescue the short term memory defects seen in dysbe01028 mutant flies. However, glial expression of dysbScer\UAS.cSa is able to rescue the locomotor and mating disorientation phenotypes. The increased dopamine levels in the head are also rescued.
Expression of dysbScer\UAS.cSa in glutamatergic neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371 rescues the short-term memory defects seen in dysbe01028 mutant flies.
Acute expression of dysbScer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PU rescues the short-term memory defects and mating disorientation seen in dysbe01028 mutant flies. The increase in dopamine levels seen in dysbe01028 mutant heads is also suppressed.
