Reference

TrpA11 mutant larvae have significantly reduced nociceptive movement responses following stimulation with a von Frey filament, compared to controls.

TrpA11 mutant larvae have severely reduced rolling (escape) behavior in response to noxious temperature increases, compared to controls.

TrpA11 flies show lack of uracil-dependent defecation.

TrpA11 mutant adults exhibit preference for higher temperatures in a thermotaxis assay than wild type flies. TrpA11 mutant larvae exhibit a significant delay in initiation of escape behavior in response to touch with a 46[o]C probe, as compared to wild type.

TrpA11 homozygous mutant third instar larvae show impaired temperature selection and unlike controls display no strong preference for cooler temperatures (18[o]C) in a temperature gradient.

TrpA11 mutant adults show normal preference for less solid sucrose-agarose food than a harder one (higher agarose conc., same sucrose content) one in a two-way food choice assay.

Homozygous larvae and adults show an impaired nociceptive heat response. Mutant larvae show a normal response to gentle touch. Mutant adults show normal geotactic climbing ability.

In flies carrying TrpA11, more than 40% of the larvae are found n the warm side of a plate with a 30[o] and 22[o]C side, reflecting a random distribution across the plate.

At a constant temperature of 25[o]C, the evening anticipation shown by mutant flies under 12 hour light/12 hour dark conditions is similar to that seen in wild -type flies. The mutant flies also show morning anticipation, although it appears to be slightly reduced. Free-running flies under constant darkness conditions retain morning and evening peaks and the periodicities are similar to wild type. Morning anticipation under constant darkness also appears to be reduced in the mutant flies under constant darkness.

Mutant flies show differences in activity compared to wild type under thermophase/cryophase (TC) conditions (flies entrained initially under 12 hour light/12 hour dark conditions for 4 days at 18[o]C, followed by 7 days of thermophase (18 hours at 29[o]C) and cryophase (6 hours at 18[o]C) cycles in constant darkness). During the first TC cycle, the mutant flies show double peaks, with the second peak approximately coinciding with the original morning peak established during the light-dark entrainment. The morning peaks during the TC cycles are reduced. The evening activity shown by the mutant flies initiates slightly earlier than wild type and is broader. The mutants require an additional day during the TC cycling compared to wild-type to establish a constant period between the evening activity peaks.

Mutant flies show a shortened periodicity of activity during a 29[o]C free run following 29[o]/18[o] TC cycles and during the 16[o] free run following 25[o]/16[o] TC cycles.

The gustatory aversion of mutant flies to 6mM camphor in a two way-choice test is not significantly different from that seen in wild-type flies.

Mutant larvae show defects in discrimination between 18[o]C and 24[o]C in a binary choice thermotaxis assay compared to controls.

Mutant larvae show reduced turning behaviour compared to control larvae when they move into a 24[o]C zone from an 18[o]C zone (turning behaviour when they move from an 18[o]C zone into a 24[o]C zone is similar in both mutant and wild-type larvae).

TrpA11 flies exhibit the wild type preference for 5mM sucrose over 1mM sucrose and display wild type avoidance of most bitter chemicals tested in food choice assays. However, mutants display a reduced aversion to aristolochic acid compared to wild type.

TrpA11 flies show a similar frequency of action potentials to wild type in response to sucrose, caffeine and most other bitter compounds in tip recordings of sensillum s6. However, in contrast to wild type, mutants have virtually no aristolochic acid-induced action potentials.

Gustatory responses of wild-type but not TrpA11 flies to sucrose are suppressed by allyl isothiocyanate.

The citronellal-evoked action potential frequency in ab12 basiconic sensilla in the antenna of mutant flies is not significantly different from wild type.

Mutant flies show greatly reduced avoidance of citronellal in a direct airborne repellent test (DART) assay.

Mutant flies show normal avoidance of benzaldehyde in a direct airborne repellent test (DART) assay.

ab11a olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) in the antenna show a higher citronellal-evoked action potential frequency in mutant flies compared to in wild type. The ab11a ORNs also show a defect in deactivation in the mutant flies.

Mutant third instar larvae show the same preference for 17.5[o]C over 14[o]C in a two-way choice test as do wild-type controls.

The normal preference of third instar larvae for 17.5[o]C over either 22[o] or 24[o]C in a two-way choice test is eliminated in mutant larvae.

TrpA11 mutants do not exhibit thermotaxis (i.e. a preference to move across a temperature gradient). The ability of TrpA11 mutants to chose 18 over 19, 20 or 22[o]c is also eliminated. However, TrpA11 larvae do discern 18[o]C from 14-16[o]c. similarly to wild-type, and they prefer 18[o]C over 26-32[o]C, but to a lesser extent than wild-type.

TrpA11 subduedΔ5265 double heterozygous larvae and adults show an impaired nociceptive heat response.

painEP2451; TrpA11 double heterozygous larvae and adults show an impaired nociceptive heat response.

Activity peaks during thermophase/cryophase cycles are virtually eliminated in TrpA11 flies expressing WScer\UAS.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4cry.PU. When these flies are subsequently allowed to free run at a constant temperature (either 18[o]C or 29[o]C) in constant darkness, only 6% show rhythmic locomotor activity.

Introduction of TrpA11 into a Gα49B1 background results in loss of temperature selection identical to that resulting from the Gα49B1 alone.

The thermotactic preference for 18[o]C in norpAScer\UAS.ckb; Scer\GAL4TrpA1.PR larvae is suppressed in a TrpA11 heterozygous background.
