Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

The expression of Hsap\ATXN3fl.SCA3.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4sqh.PW induces pervasive death during late pharate adult stages, during eclosion from the pupal case, and shortly following eclosion. Scer\GAL4elav.PU-driven expression induces a significant decrease in lifespan and a significant, age-dependent decline in climbing ability (observed in 1-4 weeks old adults), as compared to controls. Adulthood-only expression controlled by Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO (and RU486 feeding) also induces a decrease in lifespan but does not induce any consistent change in climbing ability.

Scer\GAL4GMR.long-driven expression leads to a severe, age-dependent disruption of the internal ommatidial array of the eye (1 to 4 weeks old adults).
