A mutation in slo blocks CBP-induced alcohol resistance. (A) Schematic depiction of the 2-day treatment protocol. A HS inducible transgenic construct in which the Hsp70 promoter drives expression of a nejire cDNA was used to drive expression of CBP in a null slo mutant background. Induction of the transgene was performed 24 h prior to sedation with ethanol. (B) Ethanol recovery curves of sloMI02233 (slo−/−) flies carrying the hs-nej + transgene. The black curve represents recovery from uninduced flies (Control), whereas the gray curve represents recovery from a CBP-induced flies (HS). (C) The average recovery time of control and heat-shocked induced flies (HS) is plotted. CBP induction does not affect recovery time from ethanol. Error bars represent SEM (Student’s t-test: not significant).
