UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Flies with expression of Vha100-1GD12710 driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF (together with UAS-dicer2 to enhance RNAi efficiency) show significant defects in phototaxis behavior compared to controls. Mutant ommatidia and photoreceptors show overall intact organization but photoreceptor-surrounding pigment cells are highly vacuolated and there is an accumulation of vesicular structures in photoreceptor cytoplasm.
Adults expressing Vha100-1GD12710 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 of Vha100-1GD12710 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF does not result in significant photoreceptor degeneration after two days intense light stimulation, as measured by ERG response amplitudes.

Flies co-expressing Vha100-1GD12710 and Hsap\APPAβ40.Scer\UAS.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF and exposed to two days intense light stimulation show a significantly reduced ERG response amplitude.
Co-expression of Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.cWa with Vha100-1GD12710 in developing eyes exposed to two days of intense light stimulation accelerates the degenerative photoreceptor phenotype.
