Expression of Hsap\ARQ12.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU results in degeneration of ommatidia on the posterior part of the compound eye.

Whereas flies expressing Hsap\ARQ12.Scer\UAS in the developing eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF show no eye phenotype when reared on normal food, flies reared on food containing dihydrotestosterone (DHT) exhibit a degenerative phenotype that is limited to the posterior margin of the eye. The severity of the phenotype is polyglutamine-length dependent, with Hsap\ARQ12.Scer\UAS expressing flies showing only mild ommatidial and bristle phenotypes.

Expression of Hsap\ARQ12.Scer\UAS in the larval salivary gland under the control of Scer\GAL4fkh.PH results in a dramatic reduction in salivary gland size. Larvae expressing Hsap\ARQ12.Scer\UAS in motorneurons under the control of Scer\GAL4D42 exhibit defects in locomotor ability (as measured by larval crawling assay), indicating a significant functional deficit. In addition, the number of type 1B boutons at the larval neuromuscular junction is significantly decreased in a dihydrotestosterone-dependent manner when Hsap\ARQ12.Scer\UAS is expressed using the motor neuron driver Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371.

Photoreceptor neurons do not show any accumulation of morphological features of autophagy in flies expressing Hsap\ARQ12.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF in the presence of dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Co-expression of Art8KK107174 partially suppresses the ommatidial degeneration seen in flies expressing Hsap\ARQ12.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU.

The presence of LmptGE27535 enhances the Hsap\ARQ12.Scer\UAS-Scer\GAL4GMR.PF degenerative eye phenotype.

A Dp(3;3)st+g18 background suppresses the degenerative eye phenotype found upon expression of Hsap\ARQ12.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.
