Conditional disruption of synaptic transmission induces male-male courtship behavior in Drosophila.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 1 Oct 2002

Kitamoto Toshihiro

Abstract excerpt

It is reported here that male-male courtship behavior is evoked instantaneously in the fruit fly Drosophila by conditional disruption of synaptic transmission. A temperature-sensitive allele of the Drosophila dynamin gene shibire (shi(ts1)) was expressed by using the GAL4/UAS system to disrupt synaptic transmission from GAL4-positive neurons in a temperature-dependent manner. An enhancer-trap GAL4 line C309...
