UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of baboJF01953 in the fat body under the control of Scer\GAL4DcG results in significant hyperglycaemia.
Expression of baboJF01953 in muscle under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PU results in significant hyperglycaemia.
Scer\GAL4da.Switch.PT baboJF01953 adults, fed with RU486 to activate expression, show no significant difference in lifespan compared to controls.
Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW baboJF01953 adults, but not Scer\GAL4Switch1.106 baboJF01953 adults, show extended lifespan compared to controls.
Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW-mediated expression of baboJF01953 retards the normal decline in flight activity seen in aging flies, and delays the normal increase in protein aggregates and the normal decrease in lysosomes/autophagic vacuoles within muscle.
Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW-mediated expression of baboJF01953 does not affect female fecundity.
