UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing GLazGD4806 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.
GLazGD4806/Scer\GAL4ey.PU is a suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy | somatic clone | adult stage phenotype of sicilyE
GLazGD4806/Scer\GAL454C is a suppressor of adult optic lobe glial cell | cell non-autonomous phenotype of ND-42ninaE.GD6220
GLazGD4806/Scer\GAL454C is a suppressor of lipid droplet | cell non-autonomous | adult stage phenotype of ND-42ninaE.GD6220
GLazGD4806/Scer\GAL4ey.PU is a suppressor of adult optic lobe glial cell | somatic clone phenotype of sicilyE
GLazGD4806/Scer\GAL4elav.PLu is a non-suppressor of adult optic lobe glial cell | cell non-autonomous phenotype of ND-42ninaE.GD6220
GLazGD4806/Scer\GAL4elav.PLu is a non-suppressor of lipid droplet | cell non-autonomous | adult stage phenotype of ND-42ninaE.GD6220
The accumulation of lipid droplets in glial cells in the vicinity of adult photoreceptor neurons expressing ND-42ninaE.GD6220 is suppressed by Scer\GAL454C-driven (glial) but not Scer\GAL4elav.PLu-driven (neuronal) knock-down of GLaz using GLazGD4806.
Expression of GLazGD4806 in the ey>flip whole-eye clones mutant for sicilyE ameliorates the lipid droplet accumulation in retinal glial cells in adult flies and also improves the photoreceptor degeneration phenotype.
