Expression of cazVDRC.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu results in reduced locomotive capacity in both larvae and adults, decreased adult lifespan as well as reduced total branch length and bouton number in larval neuromuscular junctions. Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PS results in rough eye phenotype with fused ommatidia in adult flies.
Expression of Scer\GAL4GMR.PS>cazVDRC.cUa in eye imaginal discs induces morphologically aberrant rough eyes. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images show fusion of ommatidia and loss of mechanosensory bristles.
Neuron-specific expression of cazVDRC.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu results in a significantly decreased climbing ability compared with wild-type. The locomotive defect is progressive.
The life span of flies expressing Scer\GAL4elav.PLu>cazVDRC.cUa is similar to that of controls.
The total length of synaptic branches of motor neurons is significantly decreased in Scer\GAL4elav.PLu>cazVDRC.cUa larvae compared with controls.
Compared with wild-type, the average number of synaptic boutons per motor neuron is also significantly decreased as a result of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu>cazVDRC.cUa-expression.

The eye morphology defects (rough appearance with fused ommatidia) characteristic for flies expressing cazVDRC.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PS can be rescued by co-expression of HsrωdsRNA.Sym.Scer\UAS and further worsened by co-expression of HsrωEP93D (which on its own also causes eye defects).
Third instar larvae simultaneously expressing both HsrωdsRNA.Sym.Scer\UAS and cazVDRC.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu display crawling ability deficiency as well as morphological defects in the neuromuscular junctions (reduced total synaptic branch length and number of boutons) but the severity of each of these defects is not significantly different from either of the single knockdowns.
Heterozygous TER94k15502 enhances the rough-eye phenotype induced by Scer\GAL4GMR.PS>cazVDRC.cUa.
Heterozygous TER9403775 enhances the rough-eye phenotype induced by Scer\GAL4GMR.PS>cazVDRC.cUa.
Expression of Scer\GAL4GMR.PS>cazVDRC.cUa in the presence of heterozygous Df(2R)X1 results in lethality at the pupal stage.
Co-expression of TER94Scer\UAS.cHa suppresses the rough-eye phenotype induced by Scer\GAL4GMR.PS>cazVDRC.cUa.
Flies carrying TER94k15502 and Scer\GAL4elav.PLu>cazVDRC.cUa have significantly worse locomotive ability than do flies with Scer\GAL4elav.PLu>cazVDRC.cUa alone.

The decreased branch length phenotype caused by Scer\GAL4elav.PLu>cazVDRC.cUa in motor neurons is significantly enhanced by TER94k15502/+.
The decrease in the number of synaptic boutons in Scer\GAL4elav.PLu>cazVDRC.cUa-expressing larvae is significantly enhanced by TER94k15502/+. However, there is significant differences in the size of synaptic boutons among these genotypes.
Total branch length phenotype caused by Scer\GAL4elav.PLu>cazVDRC.cUa in motor neurons is significantly suppressed by the co-expression of TER94Scer\UAS.cHa. The number of synaptic boutons is also significantly increased in Scer\GAL4elav.PLu>cazVDRC.cUa larvae co-expressing TER94Scer\UAS.cHa compared with larvae expressing Scer\GAL4elav.PLu>cazVDRC.cUa alone.
