UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
ATPsynDGD9915 expression in adult flies (via Scer\GAL4Act5C.Switch.PR and feeding with RU486) increases female lifespan on a diet containing an equal amount of sugar and yeast ( SY1:1 ) or a SY1:9 diet, but not on a SY9:1 or a cornmeal diet.
ATPsynDGD9915 expression in adult flies (via Scer\GAL4Act5C.Switch.PR and feeding with RU486) increases resistance to paraquat-induced acute oxidative stress in females, but decreases survival of females under starvation conditions.
ATPsynDGD9915 expression in adult flies (via Scer\GAL4Act5C.Switch.PR and feeding with RU486) increases cellular ATP levels and increases mitochondrial membrane potential in females fed on the SY1:9 but not the SY1:1 diet.
Adults expressing ATPsynDGD9915 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\GAL4Mef2.PR results in early larval lethality.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in grossly normal larval body wall muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in wild-type sarcomeres in the larval body wall muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in lethality before the pupal stage.
