Expression of Duox[dsRNA.Scer\UAS] using Scer\GAL4[GMR.PU] results in dark circles inside ommatidia. Expression of Duox[dsRNA.Scer\UAS] using Scer\GAL4[ey.PU], Scer\GAL4[tey-5053A] or Scer\GAL4[rho.PL] does not produce detectable phenotypes. Expression of Duox[dsRNA.Scer\UAS] using Scer\GAL4[en.PU] or Scer\GAL4[Bx-MS1096] results in held-out and fragile wings. With Scer\GAL4[en.PU], wing veins are also indistinct and the posterior compartment is paler. In flies containing 2 copies of both Scer\GAL4[en.PU] and Duox[dsRNA.Scer\UAS], the posterior area of wings appears lightly crinkled and damaged around 3 days after hatching. After 6 days, the damage increases in severity. Penetrance is 100% after 6 days. Expression of Duox[dsRNA.Scer\UAS] using Scer\GAL4[en.PU] eliminates reactive oxygen species in the posterior compartment of the adult wing. Expression of Duox[dsRNA.Scer\UAS] using Scer\GAL4[en.PU] results in increased apoptosis in the posterior compartment of the wing disc. The amino acid composition of and the average amount of amino acids in Duox[dsRNA.Scer\UAS], Scer\GAL4[en.PU] adult wings is similar to controls. However, the catechol component (which is an important precursor in cuticular sclerotization and melanization) in the mutant wings is significantly lower than in controls wings. Mutant wings also show a decreased dityrosine component in hydrolysis samples, indicating reduced dityrosine linkages in the cuticle.
Flies expressing Duox[dsRNA.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[da.G32] show a normal lifespan on dead yeast medium, but show reduced survival compared to controls on live yeast medium. Flies expressing Duox[dsRNA.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[da.G32] and raised on live yeast medium for 1 hour have a similar number of living yeast in the gut (assayed as the number of colony-forming units (CFUs) from homogenates of surface-sterilized intestines) immediately after the live yeast feeding period, but in contrast to wild-type flies (where the number of initial CFUs decreases to a low level starting from 24 hours after ingestion), the initial CFUs in the mutant gut are maintained for 48 hours after ingestion and increase steadily thereafter.
Flies expressing Duox[dsRNA.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[da.G32] show reduced survival after gut infection (via feeding) with Erwinia carotovora carotovora strain 15 compared to control flies.
Flies expressing DuoxdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 or Scer\GAL4cad-em459 show a reduced survival rate compared to control flies when naturally infected with "Ecc15" (P.carotovorum.carotovorum). Flies expressing DuoxdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4c564 show a normal survival rate when naturally infected with "Ecc15" (P.carotovorum.carotovorum). Ingested "Ecc15" (P.carotovorum.carotovorum) bacteria persist and are able to proliferate throughout the intestinal tracts of flies expressing DuoxdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32, in contrast to normal flies.
Flies expressing DuoxdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4cad-em459 show a reduced survival rate compared to control flies when naturally infected with E.coli, S.cerevisiae, M.luteus or S.typhimurium. Flies expressing DuoxdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 show a reduced survival rate compared to control flies when naturally infected with "Ecc15" (P.carotovorum.carotovorum).

Df(3L)H99/+ suppresses the adult wing phenotype and the increased apoptosis in posterior wing discs seen in Duox[dsRNA.Scer\UAS], Scer\GAL4[en.PU] flies.
The shortened lifespan and increased apoptosis seen in the posterior midgut of flies expressing Mkp3[GD8219] under the control of Scer\GAL4[da.G32] is significantly rescued by co-expression of Duox[dsRNA.Scer\UAS].
Flies co-expressing IrcdsRNA.Scer\UAS and DuoxdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4cad-em459 show a normal survival rate when naturally infected with "Ecc15" (P.carotovorum.carotovorum).

Statement
Reference
The survival rates of flies expressing DuoxdsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4cad-em459 after natural infection with "Ecc15" (P.carotovorum.carotovorum) are markedly improved if they co-express either Hsap\DUOX1Scer\UAS.cHa or Hsap\DUOX2Scer\UAS.cHa.
