UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of miltGD8116 in eyes under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in loss of mitochondria in the synaptic terminals of photoreceptor neurons in 3 day old flies. In addition, the presynaptic terminals contain vesicles with a wider range of sizes than in controls. No axonal or presynaptic neurodegeneration is detected in the lamina of these flies at 3 day old, but degeneration is seen in the lamina at 20 days, and more strongly at 30 days. When miltGD8116 is expressed under the control of both Scer\GAL4GMR.PF and Scer\GAL4elav-C155 neuronal degeneration is seen in 21 day-old flies, with the most prominent degeneration in the optic lobe. No degeneration is seen in the laminae of 30-day old wild type flies.
Glial cells show mis-distribution of mitochondria in third instar larvae expressing miltGD8116 under the simultaneous control of both Scer\GAL4repo.PL and Scer\GAL4repo.
Adults expressing miltGD8116 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) can show significantly reduced avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies, depending on the particular P{GD8116} insertion line used.
Neuronal knockdown of milt by miltGD8116 driven by Scer\GAL4elav-C155 does not affect locomotor function up to 10 days after eclosion, but causes locomotor dysfunction after 17 days.

Co-expression of par-1Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC and miltGD8116 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF causes prominent neurodegeneration in the lamina at 3 days old.
Expression of tauHM05101 suppresses the neurodegeneration seen in the lamina of 30 day old flies when miltGD8116 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.
Expression of par-1dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cMDa suppresses the neurodegeneration seen in the lamina of 30 day old flies when miltGD8116 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.
Expression of miltGD8116 dramatically enhances neurodegeneration in the lamina of 3 day old flies expressing Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.cWa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF and as in flies expressing miltGD8116 alone, there is a reduction in the number of mitochondria in the synaptic terminals of photoreceptor neurons.
Expression of miltGD8116 enhances the defects in axon pathology seen when Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.cWa is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF. No neurofibrillary tangles seen in these flies. This enhancement is suppressed upon co-expression of par-1dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cMDa.
Expression of miltGD8116 does not enhance neurodegeneration in the lamina of 3 day old flies expressing Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.S262A under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.
