lethal, with Scer\GAL4A9
visible | pupal stage, with Scer\GAL4r4
Expressing usp3.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Crz.PU completely suppresses the death of vCrz peptidergic neurons at 6-7 hours after puparium formation.
Expressing usp3.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4CCAP.PP has no effect on CCAP neurons in third instar larvae, failing to cause premature cell death.
In early pupae expressing usp3.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4r4 fat bodies do not seem to be distributed to the head region, making it transparent. Also, normally granule-shaped fat bodies are not clearly developed.
