Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU/ThorUAS.cTa is a suppressor of abnormal stress response phenotype of foxo25/foxo21
Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU/ThorUAS.cTa is a suppressor of short lived phenotype of foxounspecified
Ectopic expression of ThorScer\UAS.cTa, under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C can completely suppress the sensitivity of foxo21/foxo25 flies to oxidative stress (median life-span of 56.8 hours, 39.7% survival rate after 60 hours exposure to 5% hydrogen peroxide).
The foxounspecified lifespan phenotype can be rescued through overexpression of ThorScer\UAS.cTa (under the regulation of Scer\GAL4Act5C) to wild-type levels (median life-span of 27 hours), indicating that Thor may mediate nutritional stress resistance downstream of foxo.
Expression of ThorScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB rescues the increased sensitivity of ThorΔ1034-2617 larvae to starvation. Expression of ThorScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB rescues oxidative stress sensitivity (median life-span of 55.4 hours).
