lipid droplet & larval oenocyte, with Scer\GAL4ppl.PP
Expression of Lsd-2Scer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4Desat1.PB results in a significant increase in lipid droplets in larval oenocytes in fed, but not starved, larvae, and does not change oenocyte size in starved conditions, as compared to controls.
Expression of Lsd-2Scer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4ppl.PP reduces the accumulation of lipid droplets in 78% of starved larvae, with approximately 4-fold fewer large droplets per oenocyte.
Immature adult flies expressing Lsd-2Scer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4fat have more storage fat (measured as triacylglycerol content) than control flies.
Lsd-2Scer\UAS.cGa driven by Scer\GAL4fat causes obesity. Triacylglycerol levels are elevated bu 28%. Flies are also more starvation resistant than controls. When Lsd-2Scer\UAS.cGa is driven by Scer\GAL4Adh.PF triacylglycerol levels increase by 48.5%.
Lsd-2UAS.cGa/Scer\GAL4ppl.PP is an enhancer of embryonic/larval fat body | larval stage phenotype of Lsd-138

Lsd-2UAS.cGa, Scer\GAL4NP0001 is a suppressor of lipid droplet | adult stage phenotype of NazoRNAi.UAS.cSa, Scer\GAL4NP0001
Lsd-2UAS.cGa, Scer\GAL4NP0001 is a suppressor of adult midgut phenotype of NazoRNAi.UAS.cSa, Scer\GAL4NP0001
Lsd-2UAS.cGa, Scer\GAL4fat is a suppressor | partially of phenotype of Scer\GAL4fat, bmmUAS.cGa
Expression of Lsd-2Scer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4ppl.PP enhances the large lipid droplet phenotype seen in Lsd-138 larvae.
Immature adult flies co-expressing Lsd-2Scer\UAS.cGa and bmmScer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4fat have storage fat levels (measured as triacylglycerol content) intermediate between control flies and flies expressing bmmScer\UAS.cGa alone.
Lsd-2Scer\UAS.cGa driven by Scer\GAL4fat rescues the leanness phenotype seen in these animals.
