A deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{PZ}Sirt105327a, removes sequences from -16 to +759 with respect to the Sirt1 transcription start. The start site was mapped to a base that corresponds to the 5' end of EST GB:LD07439.
Sirt14.5/Sirt12A-7-11 adult males show significantly decreased survival under starvation conditions at 3 weeks (but not 2 weeks) old, compared to controls (relative feeding rate is similar to controls at 1 or 2 weeks old). Sirt14.5/Sirt12A-7-11 males fed ad libitum show significantly higher levels of glucose and glycogen (at 1 and 2 weeks old) and triglycerides (at 2 but not 1 weeks old) compared to wild type. In fasting conditions, mutants show significantly higher glucose levels (at 2 but not 1 week old), compared to wild type. Sirt14.5/Sirt12A-7-11 mutants are insulin resistant by 2 weeks of age.
The median lifespan of Sir24.5 flies (mutant line generated by outcrossing the mutation into the Canton S background) responds in the same way as that of Canton S controls to a range of diets (from dietary restriction to fully-fed conditions).
Sir24.5/Sir25.26 flies are phenotypically normal. Under nonstress environmental conditions, the average median life span of Sir24.5/Sir25.26 males is slightly, but significantly less than that of heterozygous controls. The average life span is not significantly different from controls. Under stress conditions, the mean life span of Sir24.5/Sir25.26 males is not significantly different from controls. The median life span of Sir24.5/Sir25.26 males is significantly longer than that of controls.
Sirt14.5/Sirt15.26 is a suppressor of long lived phenotype of NaamUAS.Tag:V5, Scer\GAL4Tub.PU
Sirt14.5/Sirt15.26 is a non-suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy | conditional phenotype of Mmus\WldS.UAS, Scer\GAL4Or22a.8197
Sirt14.5/Sirt15.26 is a non-suppressor of olfactory receptor neuron | conditional phenotype of Mmus\WldS.UAS, Scer\GAL4Or22a.8197
Two copies of Hnf4T:Avic\GFP-SF,T:Zzzz\FLAG restores normal insulin signaling responses but does not rescue hyperglycemia and elevated glycogen levels in Sirt14.5/Sirt12A-7-11 flies.
The increase in lifespan caused by expression of NaamScer\UAS.T:SV5\V5 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu is completely suppressed by Sir24.5/Sir25.26.
Sir24.5/Sir25.26 does not suppress the protective effect on axotomised olfactory receptor neurons in flies expressing Mmus\wldS.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Or22a.8197. No change is seen in the amount of Wallerian degeneration 15 days after injury.
Sirt14.5/Sirt12A-7-11 is rescued by Sirt1UAS.cPa/Scer\GAL4r4
Sirt14.5/Sirt12A-7-11 is not rescued by Sirt1UAS.cPa/Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR
Sirt14.5/Sirt12A-7-11 is not rescued by Sirt1UAS.cPa/Scer\GAL4Ilp2.215-1
Expression of Sirt1Scer\UAS.cPa driven in the fat body by Scer\GAL4r4 (but not when driven by Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR or Scer\GAL4Ilp2.215-1) rescues insulin signaling in peripheral tissues of Sirt14.5/Sirt12A-7-11 flies.
