Insertion in the first exon.
The P{EPgy2}CG7217EY02106 insertion maps within a dicistronic processed transcript that encodes two non-overlapping open reading frames (CG7215 and CG7217).
Prx5EY02106/Prx5EY02106 flies do not show significant differences compared to controls under exposure to oxidative stress (10mM paraquat).
Compared with wild-type, Prx5EY02106 mutants show increased resistance to septic infection with Bacillus subtilis. Prx5EY02106 mutant flies are cleared from septic Escherichia coli infection significantly faster than controls.
There is a slight increase in apoptosis in Prx5EY02106 flies relative to controls, localized to muscle, digestive tract and oenocytes.
Homozygous flies produce progeny that are largely arrested during early embryogenesis, at stage 8. This phenotype can be rescued if either of the parents is heterozygous.
Mutant flies show a modest reduction in mean life span compared to controls, largely due to an accelerated death rate during 5-10 days after eclosion. Subsequent to this period the mortality rate stabilises and the surviving flies reach a maximum life span similar to that of controls.
Homozygous flies show dramatically reduced viability following treatment with either hydrogen peroxide or paraquat compared to control flies.
Homozygous 10 day old flies show apoptotic activity in the oenocytes, digestive system (mostly midgut) and cardia when reared under normal conditions, whereas control flies show almost no discernible apoptosis under these conditions. If the flies are reared in the presence of paraquat, 10 day old mutant flies show higher levels of apoptosis in the oenocytes, midgut and flight muscles compared to control flies.

Prx5EY02106/Prx5EY02106 does not significantly alter survival rates of Urm1n123/Urm1n123 flies under oxidative stress, with double mutants surviving significantly longer than wild type or Prx5EY02106/Prx5EY02106 flies.
Under normal conditions, expression of Prx3dsRNA.Scer\UAS using Scer\GAL4da.G32 in a Prx5EY02106 background shortens mean lifespan from 55-70 days to 12.8 days. The 'double mutant' flies appear normal for the first 9-11 days after eclosion, but then undergo a very rapid increase in mortality rate. In response to either hydrogen peroxide or paraquat treatment, the 'double mutant' exhibits diminished survivability similar to the Prx5EY02106 mutant.
Expression of Prx3dsRNA.Scer\UAS using Scer\GAL4da.G32 in a Prx5EY02106 background results in an accelerated pro-oxidizing shift in the redox state shortly before an early death: the GSH:GSSG ratio and protein sulfhydryl levels (measures of thiol homeostasis) decrease significantly. Other markers of oxidative stress or mitochondrial function are not affected notably.
Expression of Prx3dsRNA.Scer\UAS using Scer\GAL4arm.PS in a Prx5EY02106 background shortens median lifespan. This phenotype is not rescued by co-expression of CatScer\UAS.T:mito1.
Trxr-1+t10 substantially prolongs survivorship of flies expressing Prx3dsRNA.Scer\UAS using Scer\GAL4da.G32 in a Prx5EY02106 background, increasing survivorship by almost 60%. Trxr-1+t10 also restores sulfhydryl levels and the GSH:GSSG ratio in these flies.
Prx3dsRNA.Scer\UAS, Scer\GAL4arm.PS, Prx5EY02106 flies show a dramatic increase in apoptotic cells in thoracic muscles, digestive tract and oenocytes compared to single mutants and controls.
