Expression of p53259H.GUS under the control of Scer\GAL4wor.PA induces neuroblast loss in larval brains. Many of the remaining neuroblasts exhibit necrosis markers, including elevated levels of calcium ions and the presence of ubiquitin-conjugated protein aggregates. No difference from controls is seen in the aggregation of mitochondria.

Expression of p53259H.GUS in adult flies under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.Switch.PR results in an increased median lifespan (by 8%) in females, but not male, flies. No increase in lifespan is observed when p53259H.GUS is expressed in larvae.

Scer\GAL4GMR.PF-driven overexpression of p53GUS.PB induces apoptosis in the developing eye disc, giving a rough eye phenotype that can be suppressed by co-expression of p53259H.GUS.

Flies that express p53259H.GUS, under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO, are more resistant to paraquat poisoning than control flies. However, these flies are no more resistant to starvation than controls and Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO>p53259H.GUS females produce similar amounts of eggs to controls.

Expression of p53259H.GUS in adult neurons, driven by Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO after induction with RU486, leads to an increase in maximum lifespan.

Mutants exhibit an enhanced retinal sensitivity to UV light and an increase in apoptotic cell death.

When expression is driven by Scer\GAL4en-e16E in the posterior compartment of the wing disc radiation-induced cell death is dramatically reduced, compared to that in the anterior compartment. There is no effect on the block of entry into mitosis upon irradiation, which occurs as it does for wild type discs. There is also no notable effect on wing pattern and size.

Expression of fzyScer\UAS.cKa partially suppresses the neuroblast loss seen in larval brains expressing p53259H.GUS under the control of Scer\GAL4wor.PA.

Co-expression of p53259H.GUS does not suppress the defective eye phenotype caused by expression of Sir2Scer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU.

The wing phenotype of Scer\GAL4Act88F.PD, E2fScer\UAS.cNa is unaffected by co-expression of p53259H.GUS.

The rough eye phenotype of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, E2fScer\UAS.cNa, DpScer\UAS.cDa flies is unaffected by co-expression of p53259H.GUS.

Expression of the dominant negative p53259H.GUS transgene, under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PH, does not suppress the L2/+ eye phenotype.

Xenogenetic Interactions

The increase in the number of TUNEL-positive cells and the non-autonomous increase in BrdU incorporation seen in the wing discs in larvae expressing Rcom\RAcs2.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E at 30[o]C is largely suppressed by co-expression of p53259H.GUS.

Co-expression of p53259H.GUS does not rescue the autonomous reduction in wing area caused by expression of Rcom\RAcs2.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E, but it does rescue the non-autonomous reduction in wing area caused by expression of Rcom\RAcs2.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E.
