UAS drives expression of Hsap\ATXN3 with an expanded stretch of 89 CAG repeats (similar to constructs found in FBrf0218121). At the C-terminus are tags for each reading frame: Tag:HA for the -1 frame, Tag:MYC for the main frame, and Tag:polyHis for the +1 frame.
Flies expressing Hsap\ATXN3CAG89.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1,T:Hsap\MYC,T:Zzzz\His6 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU display progressive retinal degeneration resulting in patchy depigmentation of the adult eye in aged flies.

The age-progressive retinal degeneration manifested by patchy depigmentation of the adult eye characteristic for flies expressing Hsap\ATXN3CAG89.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1,T:Hsap\MYC,T:Zzzz\His6 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is ameliorated by co-expression of jpUAS and exacerbated by co-expression of jpKK107921.
