UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a Hsap\RDH12 cDNA.
Scer\GAL4rdhB.PW/Hsap\RDH12UAS.cWa is a suppressor of abnormal neurophysiology | recessive phenotype of Pdh1
Scer\GAL4rdhB.PW/Hsap\RDH12UAS.cWa is a suppressor of rhabdomere phenotype of Pdh1
Expression of Hsap\RDH12Scer\UAS.cWa under the control of Scer\GAL4CG7077.PW in retinal pigment cells partially suppresses the Pdh1 phenotype as measured in electroretinogram recordings. Deactivation afterpotential is generated in flies expressing Hsap\RDH12Scer\UAS.cWa in retinal pigment cells even after 7 days under a 12 hour light/12 hour dark cycle, although they are reduced relative to wild-type. Expressing Hsap\RDH12Scer\UAS.cWa in retinal pigment cells also diminishes the severity of the retinal degeneration in Pdh1 flies.
