hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Compared with controls, only about 20% of the expected TBPH[Δ23]/Df(2R)BSC660 mutants survive to adulthood. The escapers do not show any defects in eye, wing or genital development. Compared with controls, TBPH[Δ23]/Df(2R)BSC660 mutants show a dramatic reduction of locomotor speed. Compared with wild-type, the survival of TBPH[Δ23]/Df(2R)BSC660 mutants is markedly reduced. Larval neuromuscular junction synapse morphology appears normal in TBPH[Δ23]/Df(2R)BSC660 mutants.
Homozygotes survive embryogenesis and more than 60% reach the pupal stage. However, only 21% of homozygotes eclose, with 32% becoming trapped in the pupal case. Homozygous adults that eclose are morphologically normal, but they have dramatic locomotive defects, in both walking and climbing assays. Homozygous adults have a reduced lifespan compared to controls. Flies expressing TBPH[GD6943] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav.PLu] in a TBPH[Δ23]/+ background show defects in both walking and climbing assays. The number of type 1b and 1s boutons and the number of synaptic branches at the neuromuscular junction of muscles 6 and 7 is reduced in homozygous larvae compared to controls.

Reference
Neuronal overexpression of caz[Scer\UAS.x10.T:Zzzz\FLAG] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155] in TBPH[Δ23]/Df(2R)BSC660 mutants restores their eclosion rate and longevity to levels not significantly different from that of wild-type animals. Although overexpression of caz[Scer\UAS.x10.T:Zzzz\FLAG] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155] in TBPH[Δ23]/Df(2R)BSC660 mutants significantly improves their locomotion velocity, these animals are still significantly slower than controls. The level of NMJ expansion induced by the overexpression of caz[Scer\UAS.x10.T:Zzzz\FLAG] via Scer\GAL4[Rapgap1-OK6] is not affected by TBPH[Δ23]/Df(2R)BSC660.

Statement
Reference
Neuronal expression of Hsap\TARDBP[Scer\UAS.x10.T:Zzzz\FLAG] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155] completely suppresses the locomotory, life span and viability defects in TBPH[Δ23]/Df(2R)BSC660 mutants.
Expression of Hsap\TARDBP[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] under the control of Scer\GAL4[D42] partially rescues the reduced lifespan of TBPH[Δ23] flies. Expression of Hsap\TARDBP[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] under the control of either Scer\GAL4[elav.PLu] or Scer\GAL4[D42] rescues the walking and climbing defects of TBPH[Δ23] flies. The reduced number of synaptic branches and of type 1s and 1b boutons which are seen at the neuromuscular junction of muscles 6 and 7 in TBPH[Δ23] larvae are rescued by expression of Hsap\TARDBP[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] under the control of Scer\GAL4[D42].

Comments
Neuronal expression of TBPH[Scer\UAS.10x.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155] fully rescues the locomotory defects, reduced viability and longevity phenotypes of TBPH[Δ23]/Df(2R)BSC660 mutants.
