Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Pgam51 mutant flies have a similar lifespan to wild-type flies when maintained on a glucose-based diet.

Pgam51 flies show neither resistance or sensitivity to oxidative stress (H[[2]]O[[2]]) and starvation, but are sensitive to heat shock stress and die sooner than control flies.

No morphological changes are seen in the mushroom bodies of Pgam51 mutant flies when Mmus\Cd8aScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4c739. However expressing His2BScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-ECFP under the control of Scer\GAL4c739 shows a reduction in the number of Kenyon Cell nuclei following heat shock treatment compared to control flies. An increased number of TUNEL positive apoptotic cells are seen in the mushroom bodies of Pgam51 mutant flies but no difference is seen in the amount of apoptosis in other brain regions, such as the optic lobe.

Pgam51 mutant flies in which the mushroom bodies have been ablated by treatment with hydroxyurea at the larval stage are more resistant to heat stress than those in which the mushroom bodies are present.

Pgam51 mutant flies have reduced locomotor activity compared to wild type, both under normal conditions and in response to heat shock stress. Wild type flies have a peak in activity 30 minutes after stress and activity levels fall over the next 60 minutes, whereas activity levels in Pgam51 mutant flies peak immediately after heat stress before falling over the following 60 minutes.

Homozygotes appear grossly normal, but have a longer lifespan than controls.

Mitochondria in the indirect flight muscles are longer in the long-axis direction than normal in 5 day old mutant adults.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

Pgam51 Pink1B9 double mutant flies are more sensitive to heat shock stress than either single mutant alone.

Expression of shi1.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4c739 enhances the sensitivity to heat stress seen in Pgam51 mutant flies.

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 either MarfGD11094 or MarfKK105681 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW.

The defects in the adult thorax, the progressive abnormal wing posture phenotype, the progressive loss of climbing ability and the shorter lifespan seen in Pink1B9 flies are suppressed if they are also mutant for Pgam51.

The mitochondrial hyperfusion and loss of cristae of the mitochondria of indirect flight muscles of one day old Pink1B9 adults is partially suppressed by Pgam51.

The loss of dopaminergic neurons in the protocerebral posterior lateral 1 (PPL1) and protocerebral posterior medial 1 and 2 (PPM1/2) clusters of the brain that is seen in 25 day old Pink1B9 adults is suppressed if the flies are also mutant for Pgam51.

Comments

Expression of Pgam5Scer\UAS.cIa in mushroom bodies under the control of Scer\GAL4c739 rescues the heat shock sensitivity seen in Pgam51 mutant flies.

Expression of Pgam5H94A.Scer\UAS in mushroom bodies under the control of Scer\GAL4c739 fails to rescue the heat shock sensitivity seen in Pgam51 mutant flies.
