Expression of NT1Cysknot.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 improves the longevity of adult flies: their median survival is significantly increased compared to controls at both 25[o]C and 29[o]C. However, the locomotor ability (climbing velocity) of adult flies is not significantly different from wild-type controls and also does not decline with age more than in wild-type.
Expression of NT1Cysknot.Scer\UAS in the embryonic nervous system under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 results in a significant reduction in apoptosis levels compared to wild-type.
Expression of NT1Cysknot.Scer\UAS in the embryonic nervous system midline under the control of Scer\GAL4sim.PS results in a significant reduction in apoptosis levels compared to wild-type, implying that NT1 is normally present in limiting amounts at this target.
NT1Cysknot.UAS, Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is a suppressor of short lived phenotype of Hsap\APPArctic.UAS.Tag:SS(nec), Scer\GAL4elav-C155
NT1Cysknot.UAS, Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is a suppressor of abnormal locomotor behavior | adult stage phenotype of Hsap\APPArctic.UAS.Tag:SS(nec), Scer\GAL4elav-C155
The short lifespan of adult flies expressing Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 (cultured at either 25[o]C or 29[o]C) is significantly lengthened by co-expression of NT1Cysknot.Scer\UAS. The impaired locomotor ability of Hsap\APPArctic.Scer\UAS.T:SS-nec expressing adults is also partially ameliorated by co-expression of NT1Cysknot.Scer\UAS.
Expression of NT1Cysknot.Scer\UAS in all neurons (under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155) in embryos mutant for NT141 leads to a significant reduction in apoptosis compared to NT141 mutants.
