hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
In Drp1[1]/Drp1[2] mutant adult flight muscles, the mitochondria are enlarged (being round in shape) and fewer in number compared to wild type but contain intact internal structures.
Drp1[1]/Drp1[2] cells contain fewer mitochondria per cell than wild type and mitochondrial morphology is abnormal.
Shows defects in neurotransmitter release.
Homozygous third larval instar salivary gland cells show clustering of mitochondria. Homozygous third larval instar brains show reduced levels of mitochondria in the neuropil and clumps of mitochondria in the motor neuron cell bodies bordering the ventral nerve cord. Fewer mitochondria than normal are seen in the axons of homozygous motor neurons and they form long threads that are rarely seen in controls. Mitochondrial number per bouton is reduced at homozygous and Drp1[1]/Drp1[2] neuromuscular junctions. Bouton number per muscle are and synapse length per muscle area are not different from those of controls in Drp1[2] neuromuscular junctions, although neuromuscular junction branching is slightly increased. Intracellular resting Ca[2+] in Drp1[2] boutons is approximately 2-fold higher than the level in controls. Neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction (measured by the excitatory junctional potential (EJP) amplitude) is not affected when stimulated at 1Hz in 0.6mM, 1mM or 5mM extracellular Ca[2+] at 22[o]C, or in 5mM Ca[2+] at 36[o]C, and is only elevated in 0.25mM extracellular Ca[2+] in Drp1[2] mutants. At 0.25mM extracellular Ca[2+], controls fail to evoke EJPs in 20% of the stimulations, whereas Drp1[2] animals only fail 4% of the time. Drp1[2] mutants cannot maintain normal neurotransmission (measured by the EJP) during high frequency (10Hz) stimulation at 22[o]C in contrast to controls. This phenotype is exacerbated at 36[o]C and can be partially rescued by ATP. Endocytosis and exocytosis of endo cycling pool vesicles at the neuromuscular junction is not disrupted in stimulated Drp1[2] mutants, but the mutants show a defect in the cycling of reserve pool vesicles.

Statement
Reference
Expression of either Marf[miRNA.CDS.Scer\UAS], Marf[miRNA.UTR.Scer\UAS] or opa1-like[miRNA.CDS.Scer\UAS] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] is sufficient to restore a normal filamentous mitochondrial network in Drp1[1]/Drp1[2] flies. Expression of Pmi[Scer\UAS.cRa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] does not rescue mitochondrial morphology in Drp1[1]/Drp1[2] flies.
Flies expressing porin[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Mef2.PR] in a Drp1[2]/+ background show defects in mitochondrial morphology in the indirect flight muscles, with smaller or almost completely abolished mitochondria.
The downturned wing, crushed thorax and flightless phenotypes of Pink1[B9] mutant flies are not suppressed by Drp1[2]/+. The swollen mitochondria phenotype seen in dopaminergic neurons of Pink1[B9] mutants is not suppressed by Drp1[2]/+.
