UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
dendrite & dorsal multidendritic neuron ddaC | pupal stage, with Scer\GAL4ppk.PG
Expression of kat-60L1GD7435 under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.PU (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) does not lead to any significant defects in axon or dendrite clearance after injury, but does lead to defective dendrite pruning 18h after the onset of pupariation, as compared to controls.
Larval ddaE neurons expressing kat-60L1GD7435 under the control of Scer\GAL4221 (and Dicer-2, for a more efficient RNAi) do not show significant changes in the number of growing microtubules within the cell body 24h after axotomy, as compared to similarly injured control neurons.
Expression of kat-60L1GD7435 in class IV da neurons, under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.1.9 results in a reduction in mechanical nocifensive response.
Class IV neuron-specific RNAi knockdown of kat-60L1 through expression of kat-60L1GD7435 under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.1.9 results in a severe delay in larval response to a high-temperature probe of 46[o]C. This insensitivity is maintained at a lower threshold temperature of 42[o]C, indicating an overall failure to respond to noxious temperatures.
A reduction in the levels of kat-60L1 through expression of kat-60L1GD7435 in ddaC dendrites under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.1.9 results in a strong reduction in the level of dendritic pruning. However, dendrite degeneration due to dendrite severing proceeds as in wild-type.
Adults expressing kat-60L1GD7435 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) can show significantly reduced avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies, depending on the particular P{GD7435} insertion line used.
The proximal dendrites remain intact for many ddaC neurons at 16 hours after puparium formation (APF) in animals expressing kat-60L1GD7435 under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.PG, indicating a defect in dendritic severing during dendrite pruning (proximal dendrites can be seen disconnected from the ddaC soma at 5 hours APF in wild-type animals).
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in extra bristles on the notum in 0% or 20-30% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain, depending on the insertion line used.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 0% or 20-30% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain, depending on the insertion line used.
