To assess whether altering Nup62 levels modifies the GR-expressing Drosophila phenotype, we employed the GMR-GAL4xGR36Drosophila which has a robust phenotype with reduced survival, significant retinal degeneration, extensive deterioration of eye size, and an absence of ommatidial organization (Fig. 6g)105. This evidence concerns the gene NUP62 and retinal degeneration.
