15 day old adults expressing Hsap\GYS19A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU during the adult stage (expression limited to this stage using the temperature sensitive Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B allele) show signs of spongiosis and excessive accumulation of glycogen in the retina.
Adults expressing Hsap\GYS19A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU during the adult stage show a marked decrease in lifespan compared to controls.
Expression of Hsap\GYS19A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF results in a dramatic shortening of lifespan compared to controls.
