Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a deletion that removes most of the Trap1 gene.
Mutant flies have a significantly shorter lifespan than controls. The flies are more sensitive to heat stress, paraquat, rotenone and antimycin than controls. The mutant flies show an age-dependent impaired climbing ability. The mutant flies have decreased mitochondrial function compared to wild type.
Trap14 is rescued by Scer\GAL4da.G32/Trap1UAS.cCa
Expression of Trap1Scer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 suppresses the impaired climbing ability of Trap14 flies.
