L-type labellar sensilla in flies expressing Ir20aScer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4Ir76b.1.5 show a drastically reduced sweet-taste neuron response to salt as compared to controls.
Ir20aUAS.cGa, Ir76b2, Ir76bUAS.cAa, Scer\GAL4Gr5a.8.5 has abnormal neurophysiology phenotype
Ir20aUAS.cGa, Ir76b2, Ir76bUAS.cAa, Scer\GAL4Gr5a.8.5 has abnormal taste perception | adult stage phenotype
Ir20aUAS.cGa, Ir76b2, Ir76bUAS.cAa, Scer\GAL4Gr5a.8.5 has gustatory receptor neuron phenotype
In a taste response assay with responses measured by single sensillum recordings, co-expression of Ir76bScer\UAS.cAa and Ir20aScer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr5a.8.5 in a Ir76b2/Ir76b2 mutant background leads to sweet-taste neurons in L-type sensilla becoming sensitive to a mixture of serine, threonine and phenylalanine, in contrast to controls; and suppresses the response to salt in sweet-taste neurons of L-type labellar sensilla, as compared to Ir76b2/Ir76b2 mutants expressing Ir76bScer\UAS.cAa alone.
