178bp deletion that spans the translation initiation codon common to the A and B isoforms of TrpA1, preventing expression of these two isoforms. Sequence encoding a lexA::p65 driver and a w+* marker have been inserted in place of the deleted sequence. The lexA::p65 driver acts as a reporter of expression of the TrpA1 A and B isoforms.
Positive GRASP (GFP reconstitution across synaptic partners) signals between larval TrpA1 neurons labelled with EcollexATrpA1-AB-lexA and class IV dendritic arborizing neurons labelled with ScerGAL4TrpA1-CD-G4 were observed.
