Expression of Pex16Scer\UAS.cNa under the control of Scer\GAL4NP5021 results in Malpighian tubule cells containing fewer and larger peroxisomes compared to controls.
Expression of Pex16Scer\UAS.cNa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 results in spermatocytes containing fewer and larger peroxisomes compared to controls.
Pex16UAS.cNa/Scer\GAL4elav.PU partially rescues Pex161
Pex16UAS.cNa/Scer\GAL4Lsp2.PH partially rescues Pex161
Pex16UAS.cNa/Scer\GAL4NP5021 fails to rescue Pex161
Pex16UAS.cNa/Scer\GAL4VP16.nanos.UTR fails to rescue Pex161
Expression of Pex16Scer\UAS.cNa under the simultaneous control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU and Scer\GAL4Lsp2.PH rescues the shortened lifespan, climbing defects and flight ability defects that are seen in Pex161 homozygotes. Expression under the control of either driver alone does not rescue these defects.
Expression of Pex16Scer\UAS.cNa under the control of either Scer\GAL4elav.PU or Scer\GAL4Lsp2.PH rescues the defects in the dendritic trees of the lobula plate which are seen in Pex161 homozygotes.
Expression of Pex16Scer\UAS.cNa under the control of Scer\GAL4NP5021 does not rescue the shortened lifespan, climbing defects and flight ability defects that are seen in Pex161 homozygotes.
Expression of Pex16Scer\UAS.cNa under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 (in the cyst cells of the testis) rescues the fertility of Pex161 males: morphologically normal spermatids and moving sperm are seen in these flies. Expression of Pex16Scer\UAS.cNa under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16 (in the germline cells) does not rescue the sterility or defective spermatogenesis of Pex161 males.
