Expression of spasScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU drastically increases the size of lipid droplets in the larval fat bodies while reducing their number. There is a significant increase in the total triacylglycerols (TAG) content.
Expression of spasScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PU causes a significant increase in the total number and size of lipid droplets in the larval body muscles.
Expression of spasScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU increases lipid droplet number and size in the larval proximal ventral ganglion nerves. Microtubules appear thinner and shortened.
