foxounspecified mutants are unable to sustain sleep:wake rhythms in the presence of the oxidative stress-producing agent paraquat.
foxounspecified larvae show an increased sensitivity against starvation. The median life-span of a foxounspecified larvae is approximately 20-21 hours (similar to a ThorΔ1034-2617 larvae).
foxounspecified has short lived phenotype, suppressible by Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU/ThorUAS.cTa
foxo[+]/foxounspecified is a non-enhancer of visible phenotype of Pi3K92ED954A.UAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096
foxounspecified/foxounspecified is a non-suppressor of long lived | RU486 conditional phenotype of Scer\GAL4Switch1.106, aopACT.UAS
foxo[+]/foxounspecified is a non-suppressor of visible phenotype of Pi3K92ED954A.UAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096
foxo[+]/foxounspecified is a non-enhancer of wing phenotype of Pi3K92ED954A.UAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096
foxo[+]/foxounspecified is a non-suppressor of wing phenotype of Pi3K92ED954A.UAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096
Homozygous foxounspecified does not suppress the increase in lifespan seen when aopACT.Scer\UAS is expressed in the adult gut and fat body under the control of Scer\GAL4Switch1.106.
While both single mutants are viable to adulthood, foxounspecified, srlKG08646 double mutants show larval lethality.
foxounspecified suppresses the reduced triglyceride phenotype see in Df(3L)meltΔ1 homozygous embryos.
The foxounspecified lifespan phenotype can be rescued through overexpression of ThorScer\UAS.cTa (under the regulation of Scer\GAL4Act5C) to wild-type levels (median life-span of 27 hours), indicating that Thor may mediate nutritional stress resistance downstream of foxo.
