Overexpression of MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa in the gut under the control of Scer\GAL4NP2020 moderately increases resistance to iron and cadmium toxicity in an MTF-1140-1R mutant background but sensitises flies to zinc supplementation.
Overexpression of MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa in hemocytes under the control of Scer\GAL4clu-NP6219 fully rescues the cadmium-sensitive phenotype of MTF-1140-1R mutant flies but increases sensitivity to zinc toxicity.
Overexpression of MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) using Scer\GAL4bbg-C96 and motorneurons using Scer\GAL4D42 significantly extends life-span on normal food or metal-supplemented media (i.e supplemented with cadmium or iron).
Overexpression of MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa in motorneurons using Scer\GAL4D42 shortens life-span upon zinc supplementation. On the other hand, MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa overexpression in the PNS extends life-span on zinc supplementation.
Overexpression of MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa in the PNS under the control of Scer\GAL4D42 enhances resistance to 100% oxygen compared with wild-type.
Overexpression of MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa in the nervous system using either Scer\GAL4D42 or Scer\GAL4bbg-C96 sensitises flies to starvation-induced mortality.
MTF-1UAS.cEa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is a suppressor of visible | conditional phenotype of Ctr1BUAS.cSa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
MTF-1UAS.cEa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is a suppressor of eye | conditional phenotype of Ctr1BUAS.cSa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
The rough eye phenotype caused by expression of Ctr1BScer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF in the presence of 20μM copper is suppressed by co-expression of MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa.
MTF-1UAS.cEa/Scer\GAL4NP2020 partially rescues MTF-1140-1R
Scer\GAL4NP6219/MTF-1UAS.cEa partially rescues MTF-1140-1R
Overexpression of MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa in the gut under the control of Scer\GAL4NP2020 moderately increases resistance to iron and cadmium toxicity in an MTF-1140-1R mutant background. MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa overexpression can not fully rescue the low survival rate of MTF-1140-1R mutants.
Overexpression of MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa in hemocytes under the control of Scer\GAL4clu-NP6219 fully rescues the cadmium-sensitive phenotype of MTF-1140-1R mutant flies but increases sensitivity to zinc toxicity.
