Overexpression of swsS985D.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4loco.PU does not lead to vacuole formation in 14 day old flies. Scer\GAL4loco.PU>swsS985D.Scer\UAS 14 day old flies show significant defects in a fast phototaxis assay (reduction in percentage transitions towards light).
Expression of swsS985D.Scer\UAS in the eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF does not induce any esterase activity nor neuronal degeneration.
swsS985D.UAS/Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a partially rescues sws1
swsS985D.UAS/Scer\GAL4loco.PU fails to rescue swsGD3277
Scer\GAL4elav-C155/swsS985D.UAS fails to rescue sws1
Scer\GAL4loco.1.3/swsS985D.UAS fails to rescue sws1
Co-expression of swsR133A.Scer\UAS (but not swsS985D.Scer\UAS) significantly (partially, not to the same extent as swsScer\UAS.cMa) reduces vacuole formation in lamina cortex and partially rescues phototaxis defects of 14 day old Scer\GAL4loco.PU>swsGD3277 flies.
Expression of swsS985D.Scer\UAS driven pan-neuronally by Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a partially rescues neuropil vacuolization in sws1/sws1 flies (though this rescue is less than is seen with expression of swsScer\UAS.cMa).
Expression of swsS985D.Scer\UAS in either neurons or glia (under the control of either Scer\GAL4elav-C155 or Scer\GAL4loco.1.3) fails to rescue to wild-type NTE-like activity in sws1 mutants.
