Expression of MarfGD11094 under the control of Scer\GAL4RapGAP1-OK6 results in increased mitochondrial circularity (due to decreased fusion) at the distal ends of both anterior (synapsing at segment 3) and posterior (synapsing at segment 7) motor neuron axons in third instar larvae. Expression under the Scer\GAL4nSyb.PS driver leads to a rapid age-dependent decline in adult climbing abilities and decreased adult lifespan.

Expression of MarfGD11094 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in small fragmented mitochondria in adult indirect flight muscles, deficit in larval locomotion (reduced crawling speed) and partial lethality as the adult eclosion rate is decreased by about 50% relative to controls.

Neuronal expression of MarfGD11094 (under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU) causes significant lipid droplet accumulation in glia but not neurons.

Glial expression of MarfGD11094 (under the control of Scer\GAL454C) does not lead to lipid droplet accumulation.

In Scer\GAL4tub.PU MarfGD11094 larvae, mitochondria are clustered and fragmented in ventral ganglion neuronal cell bodies, and small and clumped in ventral ganglion axons. Likewise, mitochondria appear clustered in the perinuclear region in smaller muscles. The ER has punctiform and individual cisternae, having lost its sarcomeric organization.

~10% of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR MarfGD11094 reach adulthood.

In Scer\GAL4elav.PLu MarfGD11094 larvae, mitochondria are clustered and fragmented in neuronal cell bodies and fragmented ER cisternae accumulate in the cell cortex.

In Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR MarfGD11094 larvae, mitochondria are clumped around the nuclei and the SR has punctiform and individual cisternae, having lost their sarcomeric organization.

Scer\GAL4Mhc.PU MarfGD11094 adults show impaired climbing ability.

Scer\GAL4Act.PU- or Scer\GAL4tub.PU-mediated expression of MarfGD11094 results in upregulation of reporters of ER stress.

Expression of MarfGD11094 in the posterior signalling center (PSC) under the control of either Scer\GAL4Antp-10 leads to an increase in the number of circulating lamellocytes.

Mitochondria in the indirect flight muscles are shorter in the long-axis direction than normal in 5 day old adults expressing MarfGD11094 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW.

Adults expressing MarfGD11094 under the control of the cardioblast-specific Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4 driver show significantly reduced survival on day 6 after a shift to 29[o]C compared to control flies.

Adults expressing MarfGD11094 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.

Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in late pupal lethality.

Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 100% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.

Expression of MarfGD11094 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF does not result in any detectable eye defects.

Statement
Reference

The increased midgut cell size along with their enlarged mitochondria observed in pupae (2hr after puparium formation) expressing Vps13DGD10464 under the control of Scer\GAL4Myo31DF-NP0001 is rescued by co-expression of MarfGD11094.

The rapid age-dependent loss of climbing abilities and reduced lifespan characteristic for adult flies expressing MarfGD11094 under the control of Scer\GAL4nSyb.PS is exacerbated by co-expression of Arl6IP1GD3027. However, the increase in mitochondrial circularity induced by Scer\GAL4RapGAP1-OK6-driven expression of MarfGD11094 in the both anterior (synapsing to segment 3) and posterior (synapsing to segment 7) motor neuron axons in third instar larvae is not greatly affected by co-expression with Arl6IP1GD3027, which on its own induces mitochondrial elongation in the posterior axons.

The mitochondrial fragmentation observed in indirect flight muscles of adult flies expressing MarfGD11094 under the Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR driver appears to be further enhanced by co-expression of cluUAS.Tag:MYC.

The larval locomotor deficit, very low adult eclosion rate as well as the mitochondrial morphology defects in adult indirect flight muscles (enlarged clustered mitochondria) characteristic for animals expressing cluGD13926 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR can be suppressed to a varying degree by co-expression of MarfGD11094.

Pgam51 does not suppress the abnormal mitochondrial phenotype (mitochondria in the indirect flight muscles are shorter in the long-axis direction than normal) seen in 5 day old adults expressing MarfGD11094 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW.

The defect in mitochondrial morphology in the indirect flight muscles which is seen in porinA2 homozygotes is suppressed by expression of MarfGD11094 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR.

Expression of MarfGD11094 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB strongly suppresses the downturned wing and crushed thorax phenotypes of Pink1B9 mutant flies and the flightless phenotype is partially suppressed.

The rough eye phenotype of flies expressing Pink1Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is enhanced by co-expression of MarfGD11094.

Statement
Reference

Expression of Hsap\MFN2Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC in a Scer\GAL4elav.PLu MarfGD11094 background allows survival to adulthood of ~50% of individuals. Neuronal cell body mitochondria remain fragmented but ER morphology is restored.

Expression of Hsap\MFN2Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC in a Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR MarfGD11094 background allows greater survival to adulthood, and SR, but not mitochondrial, morphology is restored.

Co-expression of Hsap\MFN2Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC, but not Hsap\MFN1Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC or Hsap\MFN2R94Q.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC rescues the impaired climbing ability of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PU MarfGD11094 flies.

Co-expression of Mmus\Xbp1Scer\UAS.cCTa suppresses the impaired climbing ability of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PU MarfGD11094 flies.
