UAS sequences drive expression of the coding sequence of the DJ-1α gene.
chemical resistant, with Scer\GAL4ple.PF
Expression of DJ-1αScer\UAS.cMb, under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF, causes a significant resistance to paraquat compared to wild-type flies. However, the resistance of these flies to H2O2 is not significantly different from wild type.
