Expression of acj61,3,4.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4acj6-PG63 in a acj6PG63/Y background is able to induce a fenchone odor response, indicating activation of Or85e.
The ISNb fascicles correctly leave the nerve cord, defasciculate from the ISN and project to target muscle clefts in nearly all late stage 16/stage 17 embryos expressing acj61,3,4.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-537.4. However, in 77% of hemisegments with normal initial axon pathfinding, a striking increase in the number of nerve terminal branches and processes arising from each motor axon is seen. In addition, some of these ectopic terminal branches extend and form connections onto inappropriate muscle fibres. Third instar larvae show a 27% increase in the number of boutons at the neuromuscular junction at muscles 6 and 7 and a 22% increase in the number of boutons at muscles 12 and 13.
Scer\GAL4acj6-PG63/acj61,3,4.UAS partially rescues acj6PG63
Scer\GAL4acj6-PG63/acj61,3,4.UAS partially rescues acj66
Expression of acj61,3,4.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4acj6-PG63 rescues the response of the sensilla pb1A neuron to ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, 4-methyl phenol, benzaldehyde and fenchone.

Expression of acj61,3,4.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4acj6-PG63 in a acj6PG63/Y background suppresses the (pb2C, 0) type of sensilla normally found in acj6PG63 mutants. Expression of acj6J.Scer\UAS, but not acj61,4.Scer\UAS or acj61,3,4.Scer\UAS, is able to induce normal (pb2A, pb2B) sensilla.
Expression of acj61,3,4.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4acj6-PG63 in a acj6PG63/Y background induces two unexpected types of sensilla. One type contains a normal pb2B cell and a novel ORN that responds to 3-octanol but to no other odorants. This ORN is termed here pb2D. This (pb2D, pb2B) sensillum represents 21% of the sensilla containing pb2A or pb2B neurons in flies expressing acj61,3,4.Scer\UAS. The second type of sensilla, representing 53% of the pb2 sensilla in acj61,3,4.Scer\UAS expressing flies, contains a normal pb2B cell and a novel ORN that responds to both 3-octanol and fenchone and is termed her pb2E.
Expression of acj61,3,4.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4acj6-PG63 in a acj6PG63/Y background, fully rescues the sensilla pb1 phenotype, yielding (pb1A, pb1B) sensilla that respond as expected to all odorants tested (ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, 4-methyl phenol, benzaldehyde, 3-octanol and 4-propyl phenol).
Expression of acj61,3,4.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4acj6-PG63 in a acj6PG63/Y background rescues the pb3 sensilla.
