Expression of CG3776EP835 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB using heat shock during the first or second larval instar results in lethality, while heat shock during the third larval instar results in eclosion of small adults.
Expression of CG3776EP835 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB using heat shock in males does not affect the number of adult progeny from these flies. These males show a high frequency of mating behaviour and also show male-male courtship behaviour.
Expression of CG3776EP835 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB using heat shock in newly eclosed female flies results in a reduced number of adult progeny flies even when the females are mated with normal males. Newly eclosed females expressing CG3776EP835 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB lay significantly fewer eggs than control females (this effect is seen both when they are mated to wild-type males and when they are mated to males expressing CG3776EP835 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB). These females have significantly fewer eggs in their ovaries 4 days after eclosion compared to control females (egg production in these females can be recovered by application of methoprene).
Fecundity is not affected if females carrying CG3776EP835 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB are heat shocked 7 days after eclosion.
CG3776EP835 females (in the absence of a Scer\GAL4 driver) lay significantly more eggs than control females (this effect is seen both when they are mated to wild-type males and when they are mated to CG3776EP835 males).
CG3776EP835 males (in the absence of a Scer\GAL4 driver) show a 38.8% reduction in lifespan compared to controls, while males expressing CG3776EP835 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB show a 42.6% reduction in lifespan compared to controls.
CG3776EP835 females (in the absence of a Scer\GAL4 driver) show a 31.6% reduction in lifespan compared to controls, while females expressing CG3776EP835 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB show a 35% reduction in lifespan compared to controls.
Flies expressing CG3776EP835 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB show increased locomotor activity compared to controls.
Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237/CG3776EP835 is a suppressor of visible phenotype of pnrMD237
Selected as: a P{EP} insertion line that modifies the pnrMD237/+ phenotype when expressed using Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237.
