P{lArB} insertion within 200bp upstream of the presumed transcription start site.
Severe defects in initial learning and in 60 minute memory retention, measured in negatively reinforced olfactory discrimination paradigm.
rutMB2769 is rescued by Scer\GAL4Mef2.247.Switch/rutUAS.cZa
The short term memory deficit of rutMB2769 mutants is completely rescued by rutScer\UAS.cZa; Scer\GAL4Mef2.247.Switch after feeding with 500μM RU486 for 2 days.
