Dataset

A set of transgenic insertion stocks derived by TE mobilization using the P-element construct P{EP}. The P{EP} construct construct carries a w[+mC] mini-white visible marker, Scer\UAS binding sites for the Scer\GAL4 transcriptional regulator, and bacterial sequences that allow plasmid rescue. The GAL4-UAS system allows regulated expression of genes proximate to the site of the insertion: genes properly oriented with respect to the Scer\UAS sequences can be conditionally expressed via transgene-derived Scer\GAL4 activity.
Insertion lines from this collection were mapped and assessed for inclusion in the Gene Disruption Project collection; flanking sequence data were submitted to GenBank.

Flies expressing Sir2[EP2300] under the control of Scer\GAL4[tub.PU] show no increase in lifespan compared to the control carrying the Scer\GAL4[tub.PU] driver alone.
The increased average lifespan of Rpd3def24 homozygous flies is suppressed by Sir2EP2300/+.
Sir2EP2300; Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL females live on average 57% longer than controls and have a maximal life span (mean of 10% survival) of 19% longer than controls. For males of this genotype, the equivalent figures are 32% and 14% respectively. These lifespan increases are somewhat reduced by a low calorie diet. Similar increases in lifespan are seen when Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is used as a driver in stead of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL: female average lifespan up 52% and maximal lifespan up 19%; male average lifespan up 20% and maximal lifespan up 8%. Lifespan is not further increased in these flies by a low calorie diet. When Scer\GAL4arm.PS is used as the driver, there is only a 10-20% increase in average lifespan and no increase in maximal lifespan compared to controls. No increase in lifespan is seen when the driver is Scer\GAL4D42. The presence of 200μM RU486 in the food of Sir2EP2300; Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO females increases average lifespan by 5-12% and maximal lifespan by 9-16%.
The rough eye phenotype caused by expression of Hsap\MAPTV337M.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is not modified if the flies are also carrying Sir2EP2300.
Expression of Sir2EP2300 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF does not result in a rough eye phenotype.
