Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

levy1 flies (7 days old at 29[o]C) are bang sensitive (increased recovery time).

Mutant flies become paralysed on exposure to 38o. This temperature-sensitive paralysis and recovery from it shows an age-dependent phenotype; 2 day old flies take up to 5 minutes to paralyse at 38o and recover within 30 minutes, while 30 day old flies paralyse within 30 seconds and take up to 3 hours to recover.

Mutant flies have a reduced life span; the median life span is only 8 days at 29o (compared to 28 days in wild-type controls) and is 51 days at 21o (compared to 100 days in wild-type controls).

Mutant adults show age-dependent bang-induced paralysis; two day old levy1 mutants are not paralytic in response to mechanical shock, but 73% of 10 day old flies kept at 21o paralyse in response to a bang shock and 100% of mutant 20 day old flies are bang sensitive.

1 day old mutant adults do not show neurodegeneration, but 95% of 6 day old mutant adults do show neurodegeneration; swiss cheese-like holes appear in the brain and optic lobes. levy1/Df(2R)levy2 and levy1/Df(2R)levy3 6 days old adults also show neurodegeneration.

Expression of Zzzz\AOXScer\UAS.cFa (but not Scer\NDI1Scer\UAS.cSa) driven by Scer\GAL4da.PU or 4 copies of Zzzz\AOXαTub84B.PK significantly suppresses bang sensitivity in levy1 flies.
