Description

Sequence encoding a GAL4 driver has been inserted at the site of the normal translation initiation codon of the Gr33a locus (a mini-w marker has also been inserted in addition to the GAL4 coding region and a portion of the endogenous Gr33a coding region has been replaced by the inserted sequences).

Gr33aGAL4/Gr33aGAL4 or Gr33a1/Gr33aGAL4 mutant males show no difference in courtship intensity as compared with wild type or controls, but lose preference for younger females, instead showing no significant preference for either younger or older females.

Gr33aGAL4/+ mutant males display no significant differences in courtship intensity or preference for younger females as compared to wild type.

Gr33aGAL4 mutant adults display impaired avoidance of umbelliferone in a two-way choice feeding assay compared to wild-type and adult females show impaired umbelliferone avoidance in an assay testing site selection for egg laying.

Mutant flies show normal L-canavanine avoidance in a two-way choice test.

Mutant labellar taste bristles show a normal electrophysiological response to 50mM sucrose.

Mutant flies show a normal behavioural response to sucrose in a two-way choice test (preferring 5mM sucrose to 1mM sucrose).

Mutant labellar taste bristles show an impaired electrophysiological response to a number of bitter tasting compounds (caffeine, quinine, denatonium, berberine, lobeline, papaverine and strychnine).

Mutant labellar taste bristles show an impaired electrophysiological response to a number of bitter tasting compounds (caffeine, quinine, denatonium, berberine, lobeline, papaverine and strychnine).

Mutant flies show reduced avoidance to a number of bitter compounds (caffeine, quinine, denatonium, berberine, lobeline and papaverine) in a two-way choice assay compared to control flies.

Gr33a1/Gr33aGAL4 males show increased courtship towards passive, decapitated wild-type males compared to the behaviour of control males in this assay. However, courtship of the mutant males to decapitated or normal females is not significantly different from that of wild type.

Wild-type males show a normal average time to mating when mated with Gr33a1/Gr33aGAL4 females.
