UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
autophagic vacuole & larval fat body | somatic clone | cell autonomous, with Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP
lysosome & larval fat body | somatic clone | cell autonomous, with Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP
Adults expressing Sec61γGD4660 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) show significantly reduced avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in early pupal lethality.
Sec61γGD4660 clones in fat bodies from well-fed early third instar larvae (generated using Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP) accumulate lysosomes, as indicated by elevated LysoTracker staining, and show redistribution of the Atg8a product into autophagosomes.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in lethality before the pupal stage.
