DJ-1αdsRNA.Scer\UAS (under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155) flies are more sensitive to 3-AT (a known inhibitor of catalase, which converts H2O2 to H20) exposure compared to control flies.
Overexpression of DJ-1αScer\UAS.cYa ubiquitously, under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 leads to resistance against H2O2 stress and 3-AT treatment (a known inhibitor of catalase, which converts H2O2 to H20).
DJ-1αUAS.cYa/Scer\GAL4GMR.PF partially rescues DJ-1αRNAi.UAS
Expression of a DJ-1αScer\UAS.cYa transgene partially rescues the DJ-1αdsRNA.Scer\UAS (Scer\GAL4GMR.PF) eye degeneration phenotype.
