Expression of easScer\UAS.cPa under the simultaneous control of both Scer\GAL4tin.cBa and Scer\GAL4Scer\UAS.cHa improves heart performance under stress compared to control flies.
Scer\GAL4HCH.Hand/easUAS.cPa rescues eas2
Scer\GAL4ey-OK107/easUAS.cPa partially rescues easalaE13
Expression of easScer\UAS.cPa under the control of Scer\GAL4HCH.Hand significantly normalises the heart period of eas2 mutant adults, mainly by restoring the diastolic interval to normal levels. In addition, the cardiac chamber appears normal in size in the rescued animals.
Expression of easScer\UAS.cPa under the control of Scer\GAL4HCH.Hand rescues the stress-induced heart failure rates of eas2 adult hearts to normal levels.
The majority of flies have brains of wild-type appearance when easScer\UAS.cPa is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4OK107 in a easalaE13 background.
