Overexpression of AkhScer\UAS.cLa driven by Scer\GAL4Akh.PL significantly decreases survival under starvation conditions, compared to controls.
Mid-third instar larvae expressing AkhScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU exhibit moderately increased glucose levels.
Expression of AkhScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4fat largely depletes lipid storage droplets and organismal fat stores.
Expression of AkhScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4Akh.PL does not alter larval hemolymph trehalose levels. Expression of AkhScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4r4 results in larval hemolymph trehalose levels that are about 34% above normal. In addition, hemolymph glycerol concentrations are significantly higher than normal, while the triglyceride content of the fat body is reduced.
AkhUAS.cLa, Scer\GAL4Akh.PL is a non-suppressor of long lived | nutrition conditional phenotype of AstA-R2GD339, Scer\GAL4Akh.PL
Scer\GAL4fat/AkhUAS.cLa is a non-suppressor of lipid droplet phenotype of AkhR1
Expression of AkhScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4fat has no effect on the increased organismal fat content and accumulation of lipid storage droplets seen in GRHR1 mutant flies.
Expression of AkhScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4fat reduces the increased organismal fat content seen in bmm1 mutant flies.
Scer\GAL4Act.PU/AkhUAS.cLa partially rescues Akh1
Ectopic expression of AkhScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU in the Akh1 mutant background suppresses the increased survival rate of Akh1 adult flies under starvation: the survival rate of AkhScer\UAS.cLa expressing flies is significantly lower than in both Akh1 mutants and wild-type controls.
