Expression of G-sα60AScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf significantly reduces the response of the M pacemaker neurons in the brain to Pdf and to Dh31.

Expression of G-sα60AScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mai179 significantly reduces the response of the E pacemaker neurons in the brain to Pdf.

Over 60% of flies expressing G-sα60AScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4P0.5.Pdf in constant darkness are arrhythmic. While the remaining rhythmic flies exhibit normal periods, they are only weakly rhythmic, as shown by a lower rhythm power than control flies.

Expression of G-salpha60AScer\UAS.cCa under the control of either Scer\GAL4c309, Scer\GAL4247 (both drive expression in all lobes of the mushroom bodies) or Scer\GAL4Tab2-201Y (in the γ-lobes) has no effect on spontaneous odor intensity or identity discrimination, nor conditioned odor intensity and identity discrimination.

Expression of G-sα60AScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4c205 has no effect on visual pattern memory.

When expression of G-sα60AScer\UAS.cCa is driven in the dopamine and serotonin neurons by Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL, flies display a reduced responsiveness to an initial dose of cocaine compared to wild-type. Also no sensitization was seen on repeated exposures to cocaine, in contrast to wild-type. Flies expressing G-iα65AScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL show significantly decreased locomotor responses to the dopamine D2-like agonist quinpirole compared to controls. Flies expressing G-iα65AScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL exhibit no overt behavioural or lethality phenotypes are seen.

When expression is driven by Scer\GAL4238Y, Scer\GAL4c309, Scer\GAL4c747 or Scer\GAL4Tab2-201Y no effect on learning is seen.

Does not produce a visible phenotype when expressed using Scer\GAL430A.

Co-expression of PdfrScer\UAS.cMa fully rescues the response of the M pacemaker neurons in the brain to Pdf to wild-type levels in flies expressing G-sα60AScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf.

Co-expression of Dh31-R1Scer\UAS.cDa fully rescues the response of the M pacemaker neurons in the brain to Dh31 to wild-type levels in flies expressing G-sα60AScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf.

The increase in food consumption compared to controls seen in adults expressing sNPF-RScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4sNPF-R.2.5 is suppressed by co-expression of GαsScer\UAS.cCa.

Co-expression of Gr21aScer\UAS.cKa and Gr63aScer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4Or22a.8010 in the "empty neuron" system ("Δhalo" embryos - Dp(2;2)dppd21 + Df(2L)dp-79b - in which Or22a and Or22b are deleted) confers a modest response to CO[[2]] in the ab3A olfactory receptor neuron (ORN). Additional co-expression of G-sα60AScer\UAS.cCa does not increase the response of the ab3A ORN to CO[[2]].

Animals co-expressing G-sα60AScer\UAS.cCa and AdoRScer\UAS.cDa under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E show 20% lethality as pharate adults, whereas expression of either G-sα60AScer\UAS.cCa or AdoRScer\UAS.cDa alone under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E does not cause lethality. The flies that do emerge show strong wing deformation and melanisation.

Expression of G-sα60AScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4Orco.T:Hsim\VP16 in homozygous G-sα60AR60 ab3A olfactory receptor neurons rescues the reduced odour response seen in these neurons at near saturating concentrations of either methyl butyrate or butyric acid.

G-sα60AR19; Scer\GAL4Tre.PU rescues the reduced trehalose uptake phenotype of G-sα60AR19/+ flies fed on 10-40mM trehalose.

Stimulation of long labellar taste bristles in G-sα60AR19/Scer\GAL4Tre.PU; G-sα60AScer\UAS.cCa flies with trehalose induces significantly more biphasic spikes in associated sensory neurons than seen in G-sα60AR19/+ flies but not significantly more than that seen in wild-type flies.

When G-sα60AScer\UAS.cCa is driven by Scer\GAL4B185 the synaptic bouton and the late larval lethality phenotypes of G-sα60AB19 homozygotes. When driven by Scer\GAL4C380 or Scer\GAL4elav.PLu the neuromuscular junction phenotypes are rescued to wild-type. When driven by Scer\GAL4C57 or Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW in muscles, the defects in bouton formation is rescued, while the branching defects are only partially rescued.
