UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adulthood-only expression of Atg16KK102326 under the combined control of Scer\GAL4Myo31DF-NP0001 and Gal80[ts] does not significantly affect the posterior midgut cell size, as compared to controls. Adulthood-only expression under the combined control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU and Gal80[ts] leads to the failure to induce autophagy (assessed by the lysosome and autophagosome marker, Lysotracker) in the adult fat body in response to starvation, as compared to controls.
Expression of Atg16KK102326 using Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP results in basal autophagy defects in larval fat body cell somatic clones.
