UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing Atg18aGD12342 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu do not exhibit climbing defects compared to controls.
Expression of Atg18aGD12342 under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E does not induce either oxidative stress (monitored by levels of ROS) or cell death (visualized using [*]Casp3) in third instar larval wing discs.
Compared with wild-type, flies expressing Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU>Atg18GD12342 show greatly enhanced lethality after Rift Valley Fever Virus (RVFV) infection.
Adults expressing Atg18aGD12342 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.
Animals expressing Atg18GD12342 under the control of Scer\GAL4NP1 and analysed at +4 hours relative to puparium formation show a significant delay in midgut histolysis compared to controls. At +12 hours relative to puparium formation, larval midgut condensation is dramatically delayed in the mutants compared to controls.
Flies expressing Atg18GD12342 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act are more sensitive to infection by Vesicular Stomatitis Virus than control flies, and succumb to the virus. There is no difference in the number of hemocytes in adult flies compared to controls.

Atg18aGD12342, Scer\GAL4en-e16E, mad2GD16427 has wing disc | third instar larval stage phenotype
The dramatic increase in apoptosis (visualized by [*]Casp3 or acridine orange staining) observed in larval wing discs upon expression of vtdGL00522 driven by Scer\GAL4en-e16E is increased further by co-expression of Atg18aGD12342.
Co-expression of mad2GD16427 with Atg18aGD12342 under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E results in a dramatic increase in cell death (visualized by [*]Casp3 staining) in third instar larval wing discs.
The delayed midgut histolysis phenotype seen in animals expressing Atg18GD12342 under the control of Scer\GAL4NP1 after puparium formation is not enhanced by co-expression of decayGD8484.
