Daughterless gal4

Sourced in United States

The Daughterless-Gal4 is a genetic tool used in Drosophila research. It is a Gal4 driver line that expresses the Gal4 transcriptional activator under the control of the daughterless (da) promoter, which drives ubiquitous expression throughout the organism's development.

Flies were reared on standard cornmeal medium at 25 ℃. The following strains were used: w1118, tubublin-Gal4, daughterless-Gal4,Cg-Gal4, ppl-Gal4,β2tubulin-GFP; Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center Df(3R)BSC478/TM6(BL24982), Dj-GFP (BL5417), Pif1A-GFP.FPTB/Cyo(BL42670), Dj-GFP(BL5417), protamine B-eGFP/Cyo(BL58406); bam-Gal4 and tj-Gal4 (kindly provided by Chao Tong); nos-Gal4 and UAS-actin.GFP/CyO; Sb/TM6B (Tsinghua Fly Center).
To generate the Pif1A mutants, we employed the “CRISPR/Cas9 method”, the gRNA was designed to recognize a 19-nt target sequence and act to direct Cas9-mediated cleavage of both DNA strands within the target site.
To generate UAS-Pif1A-RI, UAS-Pif1A-RG, and UAS-eGFP-Pif1A-RG transgenenic flies, we amplified the full length Pif1A cDNA with the primers below and cloned it into the pUAST-attb vector. These constructs were then transformed into VK33 embryos using the standard P-element-mediated transgenesis protocol.

Generating Membrin Null Flies for Neuroscience

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
membrin1,524 flies were previously generated in an ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) screen and kindly shared by Mark Krasnow (Ghabrial et al., 2011 (link)). This strain harbors a premature stop codon upstream of the membrin SNARE domain encoding sequence and therefore represents a null allele. To control for potential genetic background effects, we outcrossed membrin1,524 for five generations into an isogenic iso31 background by following an AccI (NEB) restriction site that is introduced by the nonsense mutation. daughterless-Gal4 (#55850), UAS-GCaMP6m (#42748), and nsyb-Gal4 (#51635) flies were obtained from the Bloomington Stock Center, and the membrin RNAi transgene was obtained from the Vienna Drosophila Resource Center (VDRC) (GD 44535) (Dietzl et al., 2007 (link)). These transgenes and alleles were backcrossed for 5 generations into an isogenic iso31 background. Backcrossed elav-Gal4 flies were a kind gift from Kyunghee Koh. Flies were reared on a standard cornmeal-molasses-yeast medium at 25°C in a 12-hr light/dark cycle. See Supplemental Experimental Procedures for further details.

Drosophila Lifespan Assay with Pharmacological Agents

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

w1118, EP2372, P[Δ2–3], P112087, Cyo/sp;TM3,Ser/TM6, Cop-Gal4 (NP3270), daughterless-Gal4 and UAS-GFP fly stocks were obtained from the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center. UAS-vha16-1 was generated from a full-length vha16-1 cDNA and subcloned into the pUAST vector as previously described [12 (link)]. All flies were raised on standard sucrose/yeast/cornmeal food and were backcrossed into the w1118 background for at least 5 generations, as described previously [13 (link)]. For the life span assays, flies that had eclosed within 48 hours (approximately 100 males and 100 females) were transferred to a 1-liter population cage and maintained in a humidified, temperature-controlled incubator with 12-hour on/off light cycle at 25°C [14 (link)]. Fresh food was provided every other day, and the number and sex of dead flies were scored. Fly food contained 5% dextrose, 5% yeast, 2% agar, and 0.23% Tegosept (Apex). 500uM lansoprazole (Takeda Pharmaceuticals Taiwan), acetazolamide (Sigma) or vehicle control was added to the foods described in the experiment.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
