Expression of RdldsRNA.8-10.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4c305a significant loss of nighttime sleep that is the result of a decrease in the duration of nighttime sleep episodes, although this is partially compensated for by an increase in the number of nighttime sleep episodes.
Expression of RdldsRNA.8-10.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU significantly increases green-light avoidance in larvae compared to controls.
Pan-neuronal expression of RdldsRNA.8-10.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU severely impairs the inhibition of female contact-induced male-male aggression seen in wild type males that have previously been exposed to females.
Scer\GAL4c747-mediated expression of RdldsRNA.8-10.Scer\UAS results in significantly enhanced learning after aversive olfactory conditioning (flies trained to associate odors with an electric shock).
Flies expressing RdldsRNA.8-10.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4c747 show improved learning performance compared to controls after appetitive olfactory conditioning with 0.5M and 1.0M sucrose presented with a conditioned odor. The duration of starvation before the assay does not alter the enhanced learning performance of these flies. These flies show normal responses to odors and sucrose, indicating the phenotype is not caused by defective sensation.
Knockdown of Rdl using RdldsRNA.8-10.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf results in a small decrease in sleep and a small increase in sleep latency, during day and night.
Scer\GAL4c747/+;RdldsRNA.8-10.Scer\UAS/+ flies exhibit a 10%-20% enhanced performance in memory acquisition tests compared to controls, when trained with a 1 minute odour exposure paired with 1, 3 or 12 shocks. A similar enhanced performance is also seen in flies expressing RdldsRNA.8-10.Scer\UAS with Scer\GAL4c739.
RdlRNAi.8-10.UAS, Scer\GAL4GH146 is an enhancer of abnormal smell perception | heat sensitive phenotype of Scer\GAL4GH146, TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa
RdlRNAi.8-10.UAS, Scer\GAL4VPN is an enhancer of abnormal smell perception | heat sensitive phenotype of Scer\GAL4VPN, TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa
Scer\GAL4c747/RdlRNAi.8-10.UAS is a suppressor of paralytic | recessive phenotype of kccDHS1
Scer\GAL4c747/RdlRNAi.8-10.UAS is a non-suppressor of abnormal learning phenotype of rut2080
Expression of RdldsRNA.8-10.Scer\UAS in projection neurons expressing TrpA1Scer\UAS.(B).cKa (under the control of either Scer\GAL4GH146 or Scer\GAL4VPN) blocks habituation induced by exposure to 29[o]C for 30 minutes.
The bang-sensitive paralytic phenotype of homozygous kccDHS1 mutants is suppressed to great extent by Scer\GAL4c747-driven RdldsRNA.8-10.Scer\UAS expression.
Scer\GAL4c747-mediated expression of RdldsRNA.8-10.Scer\UAS does not suppress the low learning performance of rut2080 flies after aversive olfactory conditioning.
