Scer\GAL4DBD.ChAT, Scer\GAL4AD.ort.C1-3.Tag:NLS(SV40-largeT), ortUAS.cWa fails to rescue ort4/ort1
Overexpression of ortScer\UAS.cRa by Scer\GAL4ort.C1-4 restores the preference of ort1/ort4 mutants for UV light over green light to wildtype levels.
Overexpression of ortScer\UAS.cRa with Scer\GAL4NP6298 qualitatively restores ERG and optomotor defects, but not UV preference defects, in ort1/ort4 mutant flies.
Overexpression of ortScer\UAS.cRa with combinatorial driving by Scer\GAL4DBD.ort.C1-3.T:Zzzz\ZipRREEL and Hsim\VP16VGlut-OK371-dVP16AD rescues UV preference defects in ort1/ort4 mutants. In contrast, expression in cholinergic neurons combinatorially using Scer\GAL4AD.ort.C1-3.T:Zzzz\ZipEERRL,T:SV40\nls2 and Scer\GAL4DBD.Cha.T:Zzzz\ZipRREEL in the mutant background either reduces UV attraction or enhances attraction to green light.
Expressing ortScer\UAS.cRa with Scer\GAL4ort.C2 in the ort1/ort4 mutant background rescues UV preference to wildtype levels.
Driving ortScer\UAS.cWa with Scer\GAL4NP6298 in the ort1/ort4 mutant background restores fly head yaw and roll optomotor responses to wildtype levels.
Expressing ortScer\UAS.cWa with either Scer\GAL4NP0723 or Scer\GAL4c202a in the ort1/ort4 mutant background restores optomotor responses to wildtype levels measured by fly head yaw and roll optomotor responses.
Expression of ortScer\UAS.cWa with Scer\GAL4NP6298 in the ort1/ort4 mutant background rescues optomotor yaw responses at low pattern contrast of 0.1%, but not when driven with either Scer\GAL4c202a or Scer\GAL421D. With a pattern contrast of 1%, ort1/ort4 mutants driving ortScer\UAS.cWa with Scer\GAL421D show optomotor responses only slightly reduced compared to controls, but are statistically indistinguishable from negative controls when driving with Scer\GAL4c202a.
Overexpression of ortScer\UAS.cWa with Scer\GAL421D in the ort1/ort4 mutant background rescues response to low level light intensity defects of the mutants alone, but not when expressed by Scer\GAL4c202a. However, Scer\GAL4c202a rescues this phenotype when the pattern wavelength is doubled from lambda = 18[o] to 36[o].
Expression of ortScer\UAS.cWa with Scer\GAL421D in the ort1/ort4 mutant background rescues response to front-to-back motion, but not when driven by Scer\GAL4c202a, with a pattern contrast of 5%. Rescue of back-to-front motion defects occurs when expressing with Scer\GAL4c202a at >5% pattern contrast, whilst Scer\GAL421D only rescues when the pattern contrast is 40%.
