UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
Expression of AhcyL2HMJ23469 driven by Scer\GAL4Act5C.Switch.PR (in males fed RU486 during adulthood, to avoid developmental effects) significantly extends lifespan compared to controls. Expression of AhcyL2HMJ23469 driven simultaneously by Scer\GAL4bun-Switch1.32 and Scer\GAL4Switch1.106 or by Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO (in males fed RU486 during adulthood) does not significantly affect life span compared to controls; when expression is driven by Scer\GAL4TIGS-2, there is a significant extension of lifespan in RU486-fed females.
