Expression of KhcScer\UAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4D42 at 18[o]C results in a minimal but significant reduction in lifespan.
Expression of KhcScer\UAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4D42 at either 25 or 29[o]C does not result in any obvious defects in larval locomotion.
16 day old adults in which KhcScer\UAS.cFa is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU after eclosion (the temperature sensitive Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B allele is used to limit expression prior to eclosion) show normal climbing ability.
A strong reduction in both anterograde and retrograde flux of mitochondria along the axons is seen in larvae co-expressing both KhcScer\UAS.cFa and KhcN262S.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4D42.
Quantal content at the neuromuscular junction is significantly reduced in larvae co-expressing both KhcScer\UAS.cFa and KhcN262S.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4D42.
KhcUAS.cFa/Scer\GAL4Toll-6-D42 partially rescues KhcN262S.UAS
Co-expression of KhcScer\UAS.cFa ameliorates the paralysis phenotype seen in larvae expressing KhcN262S.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4D42 at either 25 or 29[o]C , with the larvae displaying a tail-flipping phenotype at a stage where larvae expressing only KhcN262S.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4D42 can only move their heads.
