p65(AD)::Zip+ is under the control of 12 cAMP response element (CRE, TGACGTCA) repeats. A yeast-derived degron (CL1) is attached, to accelerate protein turnover and avoid toxicity.
Inhibition (using shits1.UAS.Tag:MYC at 31[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.Mef2.247 and Hsap\RELAAD.12xCRE in adults during training, consolidation or retrieval significantly reduces 2 h aversive, but not appetitive, olfactory memory, compared to controls.
Inhibition (using shits1.IVS.p10.20xUAS, but not shits1.UAS.Tag:MYC, at 31[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.Mef2.247 and Hsap\RELAAD.12xCRE in adults, in combination with a paired odor, results in a significant increase in short-term associative attractive olfactory memory in starved, but not fed, flies, compared to controls.
Inhibition of the combined set of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.Mef2.247 and Hsap\RELAAD.12xCRE and neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R19F09 and Hsap\RELAAD.R25D01 in adults during training, consolidation or retrieval, significantly reduces 2 h appetitive, but not aversive, olfactory memory, compared to controls.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 31[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.Mef2.247 and Hsap\RELAAD.12xCRE in adults during training, consolidation or retrieval significantly reduces 2 h appetitive, but not aversive, olfactory memory, compared to controls; thermogenetic activation in combination with a paired odor results in a significant increase in short-term associative aversive olfactory memory in fed, but not starved, flies, compared to controls.
