UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a full-length, pathogenic form of Hsap\ATXN3 (has a polyglutamine repeat of 77-80 residues).
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).
