6kb genomic fragment containing Lnk.
The reduction in wing area an in body mass which is seen in LnkDel29 flies is fully rescued by Lnk+t6. The increased lifespan seen in homozygous LnkDel29 females is restored to normal by Lnk+t6. Lnk+t6 restores the number of eggs laid by homozygous LnkDel29 females to wild-type levels. Lnk+t6 restores the increased resistance of homozygous LnkDel29 flies to 5% hydrogen peroxide and to starvation to wild-type levels. Lnk+t6 restores the increased levels of whole body triglyceride, glycogen and trehalose that are seen in LnkDel29 flies to wild-type levels.
