Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Mutants progress normally through development and have a normal lifespan when maintained on standard growth media. However, these animals are sensitive to ethanol and oxidative stress, resulting from either paraquat treatment or hyperoxia - mutants show a 50% reduction in lifespan relative to controls in response to hyperoxia and hold their wings erect (indicative of mitochondrial dysfunction and muscle degeneration).

Although fully viable and fertile, Sdhaf3null flies display an age-dependent reduction in motility.

Comments

Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI-mediated expression of Sdhaf3Scer\UAS.cNa rescues the hyperoxia sensitivity and climbing defects of Sdhaf3null mutants, while Scer\GAL4C57- or Scer\GAL4elav.PU-mediated expression provides partial rescue.
