The expression of svp^KK108498 under the control of Scer\GAL4^r4 leads to significantly bigger lipid droplet in the third instar larval fat body, a significant delay in pupariation, a small but significant decrease in female body weight and a significantly increased bacterial load at 24h, but not 48h, after infection of adults with Pseudomonas aeruginosa via septic injury, as compared to controls; under a high sugar diet (i.e. 1M sucrose), this expression is near lethal, as few adults eclose.

Expression of svp^KK108498 under the control of Scer\GAL4^Bx-MS1096 results in male flies with weak wing size and patterning defects.
