Expression of Disc\RFP(CTG)250.Scer\UAS in the muscle (Scer\GAL4how-24B) results in some lethality. Expression either ubiquitously (Scer\GAL4da.G32) or in the nervous system (Scer\GAL4elav-C155) results in larval lethality.
Adult flies with a 30 minute heat shock induction of Disc\RFPCAG250.DsRed2.Scer\UAS (under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB) are viable and show no ill effects.
Adult flies with a 30 minute heat shock induction of Disc\RFP(CTG)250.Scer\UAS and Disc\RFP(CTG)250.Scer\UAS (both under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB) start to day within 24 hours, with approximately 90% of flies dead after 50 hours.
Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, Zzzz\CAG250.UAS.DsRed2, Zzzz\CTG250.UAS.DsRed2 has increased mortality during development phenotype, suppressible by Dcr-2L811fsX
A Dcr-2L811fsX homozygous mutant background suppresses the organismal lethality associated with 30 minute heat-shock induced expression of Disc\RFPCAG250.DsRed2.Scer\UAS and Disc\RFP(CTG)250.Scer\UAS (under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB).
A Dcr-2L811fsX homozygous mutant background has minimal effect on the toxicity associated with expression of Disc\RFP(CTG)250.Scer\UAS in the muscle (under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B).
