UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Knockdown of AstA-R2 by the expression of AstA-R2GD339 driven by Scer\GAL4Akh.PL or Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR or Scer\GAL4GMR67E10 significantly increases survival under starvation conditions, compared to controls.
Adults expressing AstA-R2GD339 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 may result in semi-lethality, depending on the insertion line used.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 30-40% or 40-50% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain, depending on the insertion line used.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in the absence of 50-60% or 70-80% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum, depending on the insertion line used.
AstA-R2GD339, Scer\GAL4Akh.PL has long lived | nutrition conditional phenotype, enhanceable by AkhKK113271, Scer\GAL4Akh.PL
AstA-R2GD339, Scer\GAL4Akh.PL has long lived | nutrition conditional phenotype, non-suppressible by AkhUAS.cLa, Scer\GAL4Akh.PL
AstA-R2GD339, Scer\GAL4Akh.PL is an enhancer of long lived | nutrition conditional phenotype of AkhKK113271, Scer\GAL4Akh.PL
AstA-R2GD339, Scer\GAL4GMR.long is an enhancer of visible phenotype of Hsap\ATXN3tr.Q78.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4GMR.long
AstA-R2GD339, Scer\GAL4GMR.long is an enhancer of eye phenotype of Hsap\ATXN3tr.Q78.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4GMR.long
Co-expression of AkhScer\UAS.cLa does not affect the starvation resistance seen in flies with expression of AstA-R2GD339 driven by Scer\GAL4Akh.PL.
Co-expression of AkhKK113271 and AstA-R2GD339 driven by Scer\GAL4Akh.PL significantly enhances starvation resistance (compared to starvation resistance in either Scer\GAL4Akh.PL>AkhKK113271 or Scer\GAL4Akh.PL>AstA-R2GD339 alone).
