Overexpression of desat1Scer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 leads to lethality.
Overexpression of desat1Scer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI results in lethality. Few escapers hatch, albeit with developmental delay of 3-4 days leading to animals with reduced body size that die soon after hatching.
When desat1Scer\UAS.cKa is overexpressed using the fat body specific driver Scer\GAL4ppl.PP, flies develop normally and hatch with the expected ration.
Desat1UAS.cKa/Scer\GAL4ppl.PP partially rescues Desat111A
Driving the expression of desat1Scer\UAS.cKa using Scer\GAL4ppl.PP results in a partial rescue of the desat1unspecified mutant lethality.
