Expression of Ctet\TeTxLCScer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF results in elevated sleep, which increases upon treatment with 5-HTP.
The baseline levels of daily sleep in flies expressing Ctet\TeTxLCScer\UAS.cKa (under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL) do not change significantly in response to 5-HTP treatment.
Expression of Ctet\TeTxLCScer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL results in a flight defective phenotype in 45% of flies. The flies that show the flight phenotype also show flight physiology phenotypes in the indirect flight muscles as these muscles are unable to initiate flight spike patterns and display abnormal spontaneous bursting activity.
Ctet\TeTxLCScer\UAS.cKa mutants are homozygous lethal at 250C but not at 180C. Flies expressing Ctet\TeTxLCScer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF show no preference for sectors with black stripes in an optomotor, while control flies show a preference for stripes.
