Description

UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a mutant form of Hsap\SPAST containing a nucleotide substitution (A1288G) which results in an amino acid replacement (K388R). The construct is tagged with Venus at the 5' end.

The hereditary spastic paraplegia disease phenotype is examined in spas null (spas5.75) flies. Hsap\SPASTR388.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus partially rescues the spas5.75 disease phenotype, but less than human spastin wild-type, Hsap\SPASTScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus.

Flies expressing one copy each of Hsap\SPASTL44.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-CFP and Hsap\SPASTR388.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO (in a spas5.75 mutant background) eclose at a higher rate when the pupae are exposed to cold treatment (18[o]C) compared to pupae kept at 24[o]C.

Co-expression of Hsap\SPASTScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus and Hsap\SPASTR388.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO partially rescues the eclosion defects seen in spas5.75 homozygotes, although only 75% of flies eclose compared to when two copies of Hsap\SPASTScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus are expressed. The movement defects seen in spas5.75 homozygotes are also partially rescued, with rescue flies still exhibiting mild walking rate, jumping and flying defects. The bouton number phenotype is partially rescued although less efficiently than when two copies of Hsap\SPASTScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus are expressed. Bouton number is reduced significantly compared to spas5.75, but boutons seen are still small and clustered rather than linear. Terminal bouton microtubule distribution is not rescued.

Expression of Hsap\SPASTR388.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO partially rescues the eclosion defects seen in spas5.75 homozygotes. Four times as many flies survive to adulthood as in spas5.75.

Co-expression of Hsap\SPASTR388.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus and Hsap\SPASTL44.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-CFP under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO partially rescues the eclosion defects seen in spas5.75, but fails to rescue the movement defects. Neither the increase in bouton number nor the terminal bouton microtubule distribution phenotype seen in spas5.75 is rescued. Flies of this genotype have a severely reduced lifespan of approximately 4 days.

Co-expression of Hsap\SPASTQ45.Scer\UAS and Hsap\SPASTR388.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO partially rescues the eclosion defects seen in spas5.75 homozygotes, although the rescue is less efficient than when Hsap\SPASTQ45.Scer\UAS is expressed alone. The bouton number and terminal bouton microtubule distribution phenotypes are also partially rescued. The number of boutons is slightly less than in spas5.75 and those that are seen are small and clustered.
