UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
1.4% of pupae expressing Aats-serGD12798 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU hatch successfully at 25[o]C. No adults hatch at 29[o]C.
Lactate concentration is increased compared to wild type in larvae expressing Aats-serGD12798 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU. Glycogen concentration is decreased.
Animals expressing Aats-serGD12798 under the control of Scer\GAL4nub-AC-62 (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to enhance RNAi efficiency) show tissue damage in the wing, with a penetrance of100% at 25[o]C and 29[o]C.
Partial or total loss of the anterior crossvein is seen in 15% of flies expressing Aats-serGD12798 under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 at 29[o]C. The L3-L4 intervein region is significantly reduced in area compared to wild type, with the reduction being due to a decrease in cell number and not in cell size.
Flies expressing Aats-serGD12798 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PU have a shortened lifespan compared to controls (half-life is reduced from 22 to 6 days). The mutant adults have reduced climbing ability compared to controls.
Adults expressing Aats-serGD12798 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Depending on the insertion line used, expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR can result in early pupal lethality or late pupal lethality.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in lethality before the pupal stage.
