UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
Mutant (Ogg1HMC03426, Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI) adult flies exhibit hyper-accumulation of 8-oxo-guanines in midgut cells after paraquat feeding. However, the viability/lifespan of these mutant flies in this oxidative stress assay is indistinguishable from controls.
