UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of FatpGD1069 under the control of Scer\GAL4sal.BO (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) results in lethality at the L2/L3 transition, accompanied by tracheal defects.
Adult oenocytes of flies expressing FatpGD1069 under the control of Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407 contain more lipid droplets as compared to controls.
Adults expressing FatpGD1069 under the control of Scer\GAL4Lsp2.PH have significantly increased triglyceride levels compared to age-matched control flies.
Adults expressing FatpGD1069 under the control of Scer\GAL4Lsp2.PH show a significantly reduced feeding rate compared to controls.
Expression of FatpGD1069 under the control of either Scer\GAL4tub.PU or Scer\GAL4Lsp2.PH results in an increase in lifespan compared to controls in both males and females.
Expression of FatpGD1069 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in an increase in lifespan compared to controls. This lifespan extension is unaffected by exercise treatment.
The rate of cardiac failure in response to pacing stress is significantly higher in adults expressing FatpGD1069 under the simultaneous control of both Scer\GAL4tin.cBa and Scer\GAL4Scer\UAS.cHa compared to controls. The frequency of the heart rate is normal in these flies, but the mutant hearts show a reduction in fractional shortening.
Adults expressing FatpGD1069 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.
Fatp1GD1069, Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407 is a non-suppressor of adult oenocyte phenotype of AccGD3482, Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407
Fatp1GD1069, Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407 is a non-suppressor of lipid droplet | adult stage phenotype of AccGD3482, Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407
Co-expression of FatpGD1069 fails to suppress the increase in lipid droplets seen in oenocytes of flies expressing ACCGD3482 under the control of Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407.
