Overexpression of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF>Atx-1Scer\UAS.cTa induces rhabdomere degeneration.
Overexpression of Atx-1Scer\UAS.cTa, under the control of Scer\GAL4ninaE.PT results in neurodegeneration in the eye. At 2 days after eclosion, no obvious morphological changes in the photoreceptor cells are observed. At 28 days, many large holes and a loss of cell integrity is observed. On average, five or six photoreceptor cells remain out of the eight found in normal eyes. Overexpression of Atx-1Scer\UAS.cTa, under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF induces eye abnormalities. The external structures of the eyes exhibit disorganised ommatidia and a loss of interommatidial bristles. They also exhibit a loss of rhabdomeres and tissue integrity. Overexpression of Atx-1Scer\UAS.cTa, under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF also generates extra wing-vein tissue. Overexpression of Atx-1Scer\UAS.cTa, under the control of Scer\GAL4C5 in the wing pouch at 27oC results in several vein abnormalities. Overexpression of Atx-1Scer\UAS.cTa, under the control of Scer\GAL4C96 in the wing margin causes bristle abnormalities including patterning defects and bristle loss. Overexpression of Atx-1Scer\UAS.cTa in the sensory organ precursor cells under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-109-68 causes a loss of thoracic bristles.

Coexpression of sensScer\UAS.cNa with Atx-1Scer\UAS.cTa (both under the control of Scer\GAL4sca-109-68) abolishes the loss of thoracic bristles phenotype of Atx-1Scer\UAS.cTa overexpression
