PcmtScer\UAS.cCa expression under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB extends the lifespan 35% of flies at 29oc. At 25oC no extension of lifespan is observed. Flies expressing PcmtScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB show increased locomotor activity. Flies expressing PcmtScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PHb do not exhibit any morphological defects and they show no extension of lifespan at 25oC. At 29oC, expression of PcmtScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PHb causes a significant increase in lifespan and an increase in locomotor activity.
