UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of the Aβ1-42 peptide carrying the 'arctic' mutation (E22G). The protein has been codon optimized for insect expression and also includes the Tag:SS(nec) secretion signal sequence.
Hsap\APPAβ1-42.arctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec driven by Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO in the presence of RU486 significantly reduces lifespan in adult flies compared to controls.
Hsap\APPAβ1-42.arctic.UAS.Tag:SS(nec), Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO has short lived | RU486 conditional phenotype, non-enhanceable by tauKO/tauKO
Hsap\APPAβ1-42.arctic.UAS.Tag:SS(nec), Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO has short lived | RU486 conditional phenotype, non-suppressible by tauKO/tauKO
tauKO/tauKO does not significantly modulate the shorter lifespan seen in flies with Hsap\APPAβ1-42.arctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec driven by Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO in the presence of RU486.
