The largest database of trusted experimental protocols

The Gr5a-GAL4 is a genetic tool used in Drosophila research. It is a transgenic fly line that expresses the GAL4 transcription factor under the control of the Gr5a promoter. The Gr5a gene is expressed in a subset of gustatory receptor neurons that are sensitive to trehalose, a disaccharide found in many fungi. This tool allows for targeted gene expression or manipulation in the trehalose-sensing neurons of the Drosophila fly.

Flies were kept in vials containing a standard medium made of yeast, corn, and agar at 25°C, 60% relative humidity, and on a 12 hr light-12-hr dark cycle. Virgin female flies were collected shortly after eclosion and kept in groups (25 flies per vial) on standard fly medium (ND, with 10% sucrose) or HSD (ND plus an additional 10% sucrose) for 4–6 days before experiments.
Fly strains used in the manuscript: nosNGT-GAL4: (#31777), Maternal-tubulin-Gal4 (#2318), Gr5a-GAL4 (#57592), and UAS-GCaMP6m (#42748) were obtained from the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center at Indiana University; UAS-E(z) RNAi (#2831), UAS-Pcl RNAi (#1185), UAS-Su(var)3–9 RNAi (#3558), UAS-Rpd3 RNAi (#0695), and UAS-cad RNAi (#03,877.N) were from the Tsinghua Fly Center.

Drosophila Rearing and Genetic Manipulations

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Flies (Drosophila melanogaster) were reared on a standard corn meal, yeast and glucose agar medium at 24.5 °C under a 12-h:12-h light: dark (LD) cycle as described before unless otherwise stated10 (link). Control (w1118) and UAS-TrpA1 fly stocks were described previously10 (link),13 (link). Gr5a-GAL4 (#57592), Gr43a-GAL4 (#57636) and Gr64a-GAL4 (#57661) were obtained from the Bloomington Stock Center; Cha-GAL80, Gad-GAL80 and UAS-Shits1 were from Dr. T. Sakai (Tokyo Metropolitan University). To remove possible modifiers and allow for comparisons in a common genetic background, we outcrossed all the strains into a control (w1118) background for at least five consecutive generations.

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.
