Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Expressing mtDNA-helicaseA442P.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.PU leads to near full larval lethality, with very few individuals progressing through the pupal stage and until adulthood.

Expression of mtDNA-helicaseA442P.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 results in a significant decrease in mtDNA copy number in third instar larvae.

Wing discs of third instar larvae expressing mtDNA-helicaseK388A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 show an increase in apoptosis and a decrease in cell proliferation compare to wild type.
