Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Akh1/Akh1 5 day old males show significantly reduced mortality under starvation conditions compared to wild type. Akh1/Akh1 flies have similar mortality rates in response to paraquat toxicity (20mM) as wild type.

Akh1 homozygotes are viable with no obvious morphological defects. The adult flies are slightly but significantly heavier than controls and their survival rate upon starvation is significantly increased compared to controls.

Akh1/Akh1;AdoR1/AdoR1 double mutants have similar mortality rates to wild type flies under starvation conditions. Akh1/Akh1;AdoR1/AdoR1 double mutants have significantly higher mortality rates than controls in response to 20mM paraquat (Akh1/Akh1 single mutants are similar to wild type and AdoR1/AdoR1 single mutants show resistance to paraquat).

Ectopic expression of AkhScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU in the Akh1 mutant background suppresses the increased survival rate of Akh1 adult flies under starvation: the survival rate of AkhScer\UAS.cLa expressing flies is significantly lower than in both Akh1 mutants and wild-type controls.
