The expression of fhUAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155, but not Scer\GAL4ple.PF, leads to a significant decrease in the climbing ability of adults compared to controls. The expression under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 also leads to a significant increase in mitochondrial activity in adults but does not induce brain vacuolization in 35 days old adults, as compared to controls.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF induces a strong clustering of mitochondria in adult dopaminergic neurons (assessed by mito-GFP fluorescence intensity) and leads to a significant decrease in the number of PPL1 neurons in 60 days old adults, but not in 30 and 6 days old adults, as compared to controls; PPM1-2 or PPM3 neurons are not significantly affected, as compared to controls.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI leads to a decrease in the proportion of surviving third instar larvae, pupae and adults in standard food compared to controls.
Expression of fhScer\UAS.cLa in neural tissues via any one of Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a, Scer\GAL4neur-GAL4-A101 or Scer\GAL4repo results in statistically significant decline in the lifespan of flies.
Flies expressing fhScer\UAS.cLa with any one of Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a, Scer\GAL4neur-GAL4-A101 or Scer\GAL4repo exhibit reduced climbing ability in an age dependent manner compared with wild-type.
Expression of fhScer\UAS.cLa under the control of either Scer\GAL4neur-GAL4-A101 or Scer\GAL4D42 results in a reduction in the mean life span of 64% and 49% respectively, and a 85% and 60% decline in climbing ability respectively.
Stage 16 embryos expressing fhScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 show defects in the somatic muscles; in almost all embryos, muscles dorsal acute 3, dorsal oblique 3 and dorsal oblique 4 are partially formed. 70% of the mutant embryos show defects in the pathfinding of motor axons (assayed by Fas2 staining). 10% of the mutant embryos show an increase in the number of sensory ventral neurons and axonal pathfinding defects in the sensory nerves.
Stage 17 embryos expressing fhScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4Dot.PK show loss of pericardial cells.

Constitutive expression of CatT:Mito-oat significantly extends the lifespan of flies expressing fhScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4neur-GAL4-A101.
Constitutive expression of CatT:Mito-oat fails to extend the lifespan of flies expressing fhScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.
Constitutive expression of CatT:Mito-oat ameliorates the climbing deficiency that is induced by expression of fhScer\UAS.cLa in glial cells under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.
Expression of fhScer\UAS.cLa rescues the motor defects observed in flies expressing fhdsRNA.IR.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU.
