UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU>rdgAGD1518 significantly increases mean life span compared with wild-type.
Adults expressing rdgAGD1518 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\GAL4pnr-MD237 may result in semi-lethality, depending on the insertion line used.
The electroantennograms of animals expressing rdgAGD1518 under the control of Scer\GAL4Or83b.2.642.T:Hsim\VP22 show a significant decrease in amplitude compared to controls in response to a number of odours (ethyl acetate, butanol, propionic acid, benzaldehyde and iso-amyl acetate).
Scer\GAL4Orco.2.642.Hsim\VP22, rdgAGD1518 has abnormal neurophysiology phenotype, suppressible by GαqRNAi.UAS.1f1, Scer\GAL4Orco.2.642.Hsim\VP22
rdgAGD1518/Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is a non-enhancer of long lived phenotype of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU, inaEUAS.cLd
Scer\GAL4da.PU/rdgAGD1518 is a non-enhancer of long lived phenotype of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU, inaEUAS.cLd
Simultaneous expression of inaEScer\UAS.cLd and rdgAGD1518 both under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU does not further extend lifespan of that achieved by either transgene-expression independently.
Co-expression of Gα49BdsRNA.Scer\UAS.1f1 reduces the decrease in the amplitude of the electroantennogram in response to a number of odours (ethyl acetate, butanol, propionic acid, benzaldehyde and iso-amyl acetate) that is seen in animals expressing rdgAGD1518 under the control of Scer\GAL4Or83b.2.642.T:Hsim\VP22.
