LIMK1 - is the key enzyme of actin remodeling which controls dendritic spine morphology necessary for synaptic plasticity during learning and memory formation. Conditioned courtship suppression paradigm and a set-up for communicative sound production during courtship were used to asses learning acquisition and memory formation in four Drosophila strains polymorphic for the limk1 gene harbored by the agnostic locus: the wild type strains Canton-S, Berlin, Oregon-R and the mutant аgnts3. Behavioral performances were compared to the brain content and ratio of two LIMK1 isoforms in these Drosophila strains.

ABSTRACT The region containing subdivisions 93C, 93D and 93E on chromosome 3 of Drosophila melanogaster has been screened for visible and lethal mutations. Treatment with three mutagens, γ irradiation, ethyl methanesulfonate and diepoxybutane, has produced mutations that fall into 20 complementation groups, including the previously identified ebony locus. No point mutations affecting the heat shock locus in 93D were detected; however, a pair of deficiencies that overlap in the region of this locus was isolated. Flies heterozygous in trans for this pair of deficiencies are capable of producing all of the major heat shock puffs (except 93D) and the major heat shock proteins. In addition, these flies show recovery of normal protein synthesis following a heat shock.
