UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat of a 500bp cDNA fragment corresponding to nucleotides 468-967 of the Sirt1 mRNA.
lethal - all die during embryonic stage, with Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU
short lived, with Scer\GAL4elav.PU
some die during embryonic stage, with Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU
Expression of Sir2dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU results in a significant decrease in mean lifespan compared to controls in both male and female flies.
