Overexpression of sdtScer\UAS.D.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in a shortening of the eye photoreceptor cell stalk membrane compared with wild-type.
Overexpression of sdtScer\UAS.D.T:Zzzz\FLAG using Scer\GAL4ninaE.PT leads to a significant reduction in the length of the eye photoreceptor cell stalk membrane.
The length of the eye photoreceptor cell stalk membrane in flies co-expressing sdtScer\UAS.D.T:Zzzz\FLAG and sdtScer\UAS.H.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4ninaE.PT is not significantly different from that of wild-type.
Scer\GAL4ninaE.PT, sdtUAS.D.Tag:FLAG, w1118 has retina | conditional phenotype, enhanceable by sdt[+]/sdtK85
sdtUAS.D.Tag:FLAG/Scer\GAL4ninaE.PT is an enhancer of retina | conditional phenotype of w1118
Expression of sdtScer\UAS.D.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4ninaE.PT enhances the retinal degeneration phenotype in w1118 eyes. When sdtScer\UAS.D.T:Zzzz\FLAG is expressed in a sdtK85/+ background, the decrease in photoreceptor cell survival is stronger.
