Flies expressing Hs6stdsRNA.IR.Scer\UAS.K under the control of Scer\GAL4NP6267 (using tub-Gal80[ts] to limit the time of expression to adulthood) display reduced regenerative cell proliferation in the adult posterior midgut upon infection with Pseudomonas entomophila.
Expression of Hs6stdsRNA.IR.Scer\UAS.K (together with UAS-Dicer2 to enhance RNAi efficiency) under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU has no effect on adult eye appearance.
Expression of Hs6stdsRNA.IR.Scer\UAS.K under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PS does not affect development of the eye.
Hs6stRNAi.UAS.cKa, Papst2RNAi.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PS has eye phenotype
Hs6stRNAi.UAS.cKa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PS, sllRNAi.UAS has eye phenotype
Hs2std267, Hs6stRNAi.UAS.cKa, Scer\GAL4btl.PS has imaginal tracheoblast phenotype
Expression of Hs6stdsRNA.IR.Scer\UAS.K in btl-expressing (tracheal) cells (through the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS in a Hs2std267 homozygous mutant background completely blocks the formation of the tracheoblast. No such effect is observed when Hs6stdsRNA.IR.Scer\UAS.K is expressed in bnl expressing (non-tracheal) cells (through Scer\GAL4bnl-NP2211) in the same mutant background.
The moderate rough eye phenotype and reduced adult eye size characteristic for flies expressing Scer\GAL4GMR.PU under the control of Hsap\MAPTV337M.Scer\UAS is significantly worsened by co-expression of Hs6stGD3078 (together with UAS-Dicer2 to enhance RNAi efficiency), exacerbating the rough appearance.
