The expression of Rgk1Scer\UAS.B under the control of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107, but not Scer\GAL4c739 or Scer\GAL4elav-C155, leads to a significant increase in intermediate-term olfactory memory (2h after conditioning), assessed by olfactory aversive conditioning assays, as compared to controls; expression under the control of control of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107, however, does not lead to significant changes in short-term olfactory memory (5min after conditioning) performance, as compared to controls.
Rgk1UAS.B/Scer\GAL4c739 partially rescues Rgk1Δ
The expression of Rgk1Scer\UAS.B, under the control of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 alone, or in combination with Gal80[ts] to transiently express only for 3 days during adulthood, rescues the intermediate-term olfactory memory (2h after conditioning) defects observed in Rgk1Δ homozygous adults, and even leads to significant increases in intermediate-term memory performance as compared to controls; expression under the control of Scer\GAL4c739 alone or Scer\GAL4elav-C155 alone also partially and fully rescues, respectively, the intermediate-term olfactory memory defects of Rgk1Δ homozygous adults.
