UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Male and female flies with expression of teqGD4757 driven by Scer\GAL4elav.PU or Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PU (or driven in adulthood only using Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO with RU486 feeding) live significantly longer than controls. Male and female flies with expression of teqGD4757 driven by Scer\GAL4ppl.PU have a significantly shorter lifespan compared to controls. Male and female flies with expression of teqGD4757 driven by Scer\GAL4c739 (or driven in adulthood only using Scer\GAL4Mef2.247.Switch with RU486 feeding) have a lifespan similar to controls.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 may result in semi-lethality, depending on the insertion line used.
