UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a wild-type mtDNA-helicase cDNA.
Expression of mtDNA-helicaseScer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 results in a slight increase in mtDNA copy number in adults.
Apoptosis and cell proliferation in wing discs of third instar larvae expressing mtDNA-helicaseScer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 is similar to that of controls.
