A thermogenetics protocol for detecting gap junction channels in Drosophila egg chambers

Summary: In this protocol, we took a “thermogenetics” approach to detect functional gap junction channels between cells in Drosophila egg chambers. We expressed the thermosensitive cation channel TrpA1-A in the germline using Gal4, and a fluorescent [Ca2+] sensor (GCaMP6), in all follicle cells usin...
