Expression of SmnScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR has no effect on flight ability of adult flies, mobility of the third instar larvae or shape of pupae and Scer\GAL4elav-C155-driven expression does not impair adult viability.
Expression of SmnScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU leads to mild defects in eye morphology.
Expression of SmnScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG driven by Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR does not significantly affect flight behavior.
Overexpression of SmnScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG driven by Scer\GAL4elav-C155, Scer\GAL4how-24B, Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371 or Scer\GAL4ChAT.7.4 does not significantly disrupt locomotor behavior (speed, distance covered, overall activity, pause number and length in Buridan's assay) in adult flies compared to wild type.
Baseline synaptic transmission measured at the neuromuscular junction (muscle 6/7 in abdominal segment 2) is mildly but significantly altered in third instar larvae with SmnScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG driven by Scer\GAL4elav-C155 : though no changes in excitatory junction potential (EJP) amplitude or the quantal content of release were detected, there is a significant increase in mini evoked junction potential (mEJP) amplitude. When SmnScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG is driven in muscles by Scer\GAL4how-24B there are significant decreases in EJP and mEJP amplitude.

Simultaneous expression of Gem3ΔN.Scer\UAS and SmnScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG leads to strongly reduced mobility in third instar larvae and more elongated shape of the puparium with the Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR driver and reduced adult viability with Scer\GAL4elav-C155.
Co-expression of SmnScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG and Gem3ΔN.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in partial lethality, with the few escapers exhibiting severe flight defects.
Co-expression of SmnScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG does not modify the mild eye defects seen in flies expressing Hsap\FUSMM.Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG or Hsap\FUSScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU.

Expression of SmnScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of either Scer\GAL4Act.PU or Scer\GAL4tub.PU partially rescues the semi-lethality seen when one copy each of SmnT:Zzzz\FLAG and SmnY203C.T:Zzzz\FLAG are expressed in a homozygous SmnX7 mutant background.
Decreased muscle surface area, locomotor defects, increased inter-spike intervals and increased evoked excitatory postsynaptic potential (eEPSP) amplitude in SmnX7/SmnX7 third instar larvae are rescued by ubiquitous (Scer\GAL4da.PU), pan-neuronal (Scer\GAL4nSyb.PS) or cholinergic (Scer\GAL4ChAT.7.4) expression of SmnScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG; these phenotypes are not rescued when expression is driven by larval muscle-specific Scer\GAL4G14, glutamatergic Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371, motor-neuron specific Scer\GAL4RapGAP1-OK6, GABAergic (Scer\GAL4Gad1.3.098), Scer\GAL41003.3 or Scer\GAL4ppk.1.9. Expression of SmnScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG with Scer\GAL4clh201 or Scer\GAL4NP2225 rescues the increased inter-spike intervals and increased eEPSP amplitude, partially rescues the decreased muscle surface area, but fails to rescue the locomotion defect in SmnX7/SmnX7 third instar larvae.
SmnScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG driven by Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO in the presence of RU486 rescues SmnX7/SmnX7 muscle size, locomotion (partially), inter-spike intervals and eEPSP defects if SmnScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG expression is induced immediately after hatching (if induced 48 or 96 hours after hatching rescue is partial apart from full rescue of eEPSP).
