Statement
Reference
Overexpression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] in dopaminergic neurons, under the control of Scer\GAL4[ple.PF], leads to a substantial reduction of dopamine neurons in the adult brain hemisphere. Expression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] under the control of Scer\GAL4[ple.PF] significantly reduces climbing ability.
Overexpression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] pre- or post-synaptically (under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155] or Scer\GAL4[Mhc.PW], respectively) results in a reduction in the total number of type I boutons on muscle 6/7 from the A3 segment. In addition, neuromuscular junction length and branch number are decreased by 25%. Separate quantification of type Ib versus type Is boutons on muscle 6/7 reveals a similar degree (20%) of decrease in the number of each type of bouton. The neuromuscular junction morphology phenotype caused by overexpression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] by Scer\GAL4[Mhc.PW] is rescued by rapamycin treatment. Scer\GAL4[Mhc.PW]-driven expression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] does not affect neuromuscular junction MT cytoskeleton formation. Newly synthesized tubulin inside synaptic boutons is more fragmented in animals expressing Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] presynaptically (under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155]). Neuronal overexpression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] (under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155]) leads to a decrease of mitochondria number in terminal boutons and a significant increase of mEJC frequency. Quantal content is not significantly changed in these animals compared to controls.
Expression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF] results in retinal degeneration by 3 weeks after eclosion. Expression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] driven by Scer\GAL4[Ddc.PL] causes early mortality and locomotion impairment. Expression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] under the control of Scer\GAL4[Ddc.PL] leads to selective loss of dopaminergic neurons. Expression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] driven by Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] causes late-onset locomotion impairment, shortened lifespan and selective loss of dopaminergic neurons.

Co-expression of Hsap\ARFGAP1[Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1] with Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] in dopaminergic neurons, under the control of Scer\GAL4[ple.PF], significantly prevents the loss of dopamine neurons in PAL and PPM1/2 but not PPM3 or PPL1 clusters. Co-expression of Hsap\ARFGAP1[Δ64.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1] with Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] in dopaminergic neurons, under the control of Scer\GAL4[ple.PF], rescues dopaminergic neuronal loss in the PPM1/2 but does not significantly rescue in the other dopaminergic clusters. Co-expression of either Hsap\ARFGAP1[Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1] or Hsap\ARFGAP1[Δ64.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1] in dopaminergic neurons, under the control of Scer\GAL4[ple.PF], rescues the climbing defect seen in Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG]-expressing flies. Co-expression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] rescues the eye defects seen upon expression of Hsap\ARFGAP1[Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1] under the control of Scer\GAL4[GMR.PF].
Co-expression of futsch[EP1419] pre-synaptically rescues the synaptic overgrowth phenotype found upon expression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] pre-synaptically under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155]. However, synaptic defects caused by post-synaptic expression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] are not suppressed when futsch[EP1419] is expressed post-synaptically (under the control of Scer\GAL4[Mhc.PW]). The abnormal microtubule phenotype seen upon Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] presynaptic expression is rescued by a futsch[EP1419] expression (both under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155]). Neuronal co-expression of futsch[EP1419] with Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] rescues the mitochondrial distribution phenotype seen upon Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] expression alone.
