Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

SNF4Aγloe homo- and heterozygous mutants exhibit age-dependent degeneration of the nervous system.

SNF4Aγloe exhibit a mild rough eye phenotype.

SNF4Aγloe mutant third instar larval brains show increased vacuolisation compared to controls. The phenotype is more severe in males than in females. An increased number of vacuoles is also seen in 4 day old adult flies.

Mutants exhibit severe vacuolisation of the central nervous system. The vacuolar pathology is most prominent around the central complex and the central parts of the brain. Neurons appear to undergo necrotic cell death. Mutants also have ~40% reduced levels of cholesterol ester.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

A Fppsk06103 heterozygous background significantly suppresses the degenerative nervous sytem phenotype found in 5 day old SNF4Aγloe mutants. These flies exhibit a reduction in the area of vacuoles in the optic system, from approximately 163 υm[2] to 33υm[2] in a Fppsk03514/+ background and 25υm[2] in a Fppsk06103/+ background. There is a similar reduction in the number of vacuoles present, confirming an involvement of the isoprenoid pathway in the degenerative phenotype of SNF4Aγloe flies.

There is no significant difference in the nervous system degeneration seen in SNF4Aγloe mutants in a Cdc423 or Rab5k08230 heterozygous background.

A heterozygous Rho172F background suppresses the neuronal vacuolization seen in SNF4Aγloe mutants to approximately half the level in single mutants. The number of vacuoles is also reduced, compared to SNF4Aγloe single mutants.

Rho172F heterozygosity increases the performance index of SNF4Aγloe flies in a fast phototaxis assay.

Expression of constitutively-active Rho1V14.Scer\UAS pan-neuronally, under the control of Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a, enhances the neural degeneration and vacuolization seen in SNF4Aγloe mutants.

Expression of Rho1V14.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a decreases the performance index of SNF4Aγloe flies in a fast phototaxis assay.

A SNF4Aγloe mutant background does not affect the external or internal eye phenotype caused by overexpression of Rho1V14.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

Rho172F/+; SNF4Aγloe/SNF4Aγloe flies show a significant increase in lifespan compared to SNF4Aγloe mutants.

Expression of ApplScer\UAS.cCSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a substantially suppresses the increase in vacuolisation seen in the brains of SNF4Aγloe mutant third instar larvae.

Expression of Appls.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a substantially suppresses the increase in vacuolisation seen in the brains of SNF4Aγloe mutant third instar larvae.

Expression of AppldAICD.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a is unable to suppress the increase in vacuolisation seen in the brains of SNF4Aγloe mutant third instar larvae.

Expression of Applsd.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a significantly enhances the increase in vacuolisation seen in the brains of SNF4Aγloe mutant third instar larvae.

Expression of BaceScer\UAS.cCSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a enhances the increase in vacuolisation seen in the brains of SNF4Aγloe mutant third instar larvae.

Expression of kuzScer\UAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a suppresses the increase in vacuolisation seen in the brains of SNF4Aγloe mutant third instar larvae.

Hemizygosity for Appld enhances the vacuolisation seen in 4 day old SNF4Aγloe mutant males.

Expression of ApplScer\UAS.cCSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a partially suppresses the vacuolisation seen in 4 day old Appld SNF4Aγloe double mutant males, returning the phenotype to the level seen in SNF4Aγloe single mutants.

Expression of Appls.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a fails to suppress the vacuolisation seen in 4 day old Appld SNF4Aγloe double mutant males.

The addition of Hmgcrclb1 or Hmgcrclb2 to SNF4Aγloe animals shows a small but significant reduction in the number of holes seen in the adult brain. The addition of HmgcrScer\UAS.cvDa (driven by Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a) enhances the adult brain degeneration phenotype seen in SNF4Aγloe animals. The addition of Appld enhances the adult brain degeneration phenotype seen in SNF4Aγloe animals.
