abnormal neuroanatomy (with Dmtne01970), with Scer\GAL4repo
short lived (with Dmtne01970), with Scer\GAL4repo
10 day old Dmtne01970 mutant flies in which Dmtn expression has been rescued in glia (through expression of DmtnScer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4repo) show evidence of neurodegeneration in the form of vacuoles. These vacuoles are rarely seen in 10 day old flies expressing DmtnScer\UAS.cHa in neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155, or expressing DmtnScer\UAS.cHa in both neurons and glia. Vacuoles are not seen in any of the rescued flies at one day old.
Dmtne01970 mutant flies expressing DmtnScer\UAS.cHa in glia under the control of Scer\GAL4repo have a severely reduced lifespan compared to those expressing DmtnScer\UAS.cHa in neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155, or in both neurons or glia.
DmtnUAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is a suppressor of partially lethal - majority die phenotype of Hsap\APP695.UAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4elav-C155
DmtnUAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is a suppressor of visible phenotype of Hsap\APP695.UAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4elav-C155
DmtnUAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4elav-C155 is a suppressor of wing phenotype of Hsap\APP695.UAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4elav-C155
Expression of DmtnScer\UAS.cHa suppresses the predominantly male semi-lethality and wing expansion defects seen when Hsap\APP695.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC is expressed in neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155.
DmtnUAS.cHa/Scer\GAL4repo partially rescues Dmtne01970
Expression of DmtnScer\UAS.cHa under the control of either Scer\GAL4elav-C155 (neurons), Scer\GAL4repo (glia) or both, rescues the lethality associated with Dmtne01970. The optic lobes of all Dmtne01970 flies rescued by expression of DmtnScer\UAS.cHa in either just neurons or both neurons and glia are normal in appearance. The optic lobes of flies rescued in the glia only are less developed, as shown by a wider angle between the lamina and medulla neuropils, due to partial rotation of the medulla neuropil and by aberrant targeting of retinal axons.
