UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing swsJF03428 under the control of Scer\GAL4loco.PU show a progressive decrease in locomotion in fast phototaxis assays.
14 day old Scer\GAL4loco.PU>swsGD3277 flies have vacuoles in the lamina cortex.
Expression of swsJF03428 driven by Scer\GAL4repo.PU or Scer\GAL4loco.PU significantly reduces performance in a phototaxis assay (measuring percentage transitions towards light) in 2 day old flies compared to controls; this phenotype is progressive, with performance in 14 day old flies worse than in 2 day old flies.
Scer\GAL4repo.PU>swsJF03428 flies show a significant decline in activity and walking speed but not visual orientation (Buridan's paradigm) at 7 or 14 (but not 3) days old, compared to age-matched controls. Electroretinogram (ERG) recordings from young or old Scer\GAL4repo.PU>swsJF03428 flies did not detect any significant differences from controls.
Short latency response times between electrical stimulation of the giant fiber neuron and flight muscle (dorsal longitudinal muscle) responses are similar to age-matched controls in 3 or 14 day old Scer\GAL4repo.PU>swsJF03428 flies; Scer\GAL4repo.PU>swsJF03428 flies do show a significant increase in response latency in 14 day old flies (compared to 3 day olds), unlike controls (no significant difference). Reliability in response to high-frequency stimulation is also significantly affected in 14 day old Scer\GAL4repo.PU>swsJF03428 flies.
Photoreceptors of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU swsJF03428 flies develop normally and appear unaffected in 7-day-old flies, but 30 days old flies show obvious signs of degeneration and some photoreceptors are lost. Raising these flies in the dark does not prevent this degeneration. Electroretinograms are normal in both young and aged mutant flies.
