Description

547bp of the Trpγ locus extending 3' from the first start codon have been deleted (this removes the first two ATGs present in Trpγ) and have been replaced by sequence encoding a GAL4 driver followed by a w+mW.hs marker.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Mutant flies show a small but significant defect in negative geotaxis.

Mutant flies require four times as long as wild-type flies to complete the righting reflect.

Mutant flies show significantly reduced speed and precision of movements during walking compared to controls.

Homozygous, TrpγG4/Df(2L)ED1109 and TrpγG4/Trpγ1 flies initiate crossing of gaps at a frequency similar to controls, but their ability to successfully traverse larger gaps is impaired compared to wild type. The defect in homozygous is due to an inability to perform all the normal fine postural adjustments while attempting to cross the gap.

Homozygous and TrpγG4/Trpγ1 tibial extensor muscles show a significant reduction in the action potential frequency in response to tibia deflections compared to controls.

Comments

Expression of TrpγScer\UAS.cAa under the control of Scer\GAL4Trpγ-G4 rescues the increase in time required to complete the righting reflex which is seen in TrpγG4 flies.

Expression of TrpγScer\UAS.cAa under the control of Scer\GAL4Trpγ-G4 in TrpγG4/Trpγ1 flies rescues the action potential frequency of tibial extensor muscles in response to tibia deflections to wild type and also rescues their ability to successfully traverse large gaps of 3.5mm to wild-type levels.
