UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of mutated Hsap\TARDBP sequences that carry a A315T amino acid substitution.
Expression of Hsap\TARDBPA315T.cMa.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4D42 results in an increase in the top size of synaptic T-bars and an increase in the number of tethered vesicles. The EJC amplitude and quantal content is increased in animals expressing Hsap\TARDBPA315T.cMa.Scer\UAS.
Aged flies expressing Hsap\TARDBPA315T.cMa.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU show reduced motor activity in an automated 24hr monitoring system as well as reduced negative geotaxis.
Hsap\TARDBPA315T.UAS.cVa, Scer\GAL4elav.PU has abnormal locomotor behavior | adult stage phenotype, suppressible by HDAC6KO/HDAC6[+]
Hsap\TARDBPA315T.UAS.cVa, Scer\GAL4elav.PU has abnormal locomotor behavior | adult stage phenotype, suppressible by Hsap\ELP3UAS.cMa, Scer\GAL4elav.PU
Hsap\TARDBPA315T.UAS.cVa, Scer\GAL4elav.PU has t-bar phenotype, suppressible by Hsap\ELP3UAS.cMa, Scer\GAL4elav.PU
Hsap\TARDBPA315T.UAS.cVa, Scer\GAL4elav.PU has t-bar phenotype, suppressible by HDAC6KO/HDAC6[+]
Hsap\TARDBPA315T.UAS.cVa, Scer\GAL4elav.PU has synapse phenotype, suppressible by Hsap\ELP3UAS.cMa, Scer\GAL4elav.PU
Expression of Hsap\ELP3Scer\UAS.cMa suppresses the larger synaptic T-bar size found upon expression of Hsap\TARDBPA315T.cMa.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU.
A HDAC6KO heterozygous background suppresses the larger synaptic T-bar size found upon expression of Hsap\TARDBPA315T.cMa.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU.
While overexpression of Hsap\ELP3Scer\UAS.cMa or heterozygosity for HDAC6KO alone has no effect on activity or negative geotaxis, these conditions both significant suppress the activity and geotaxis defects in flies expressing Hsap\TARDBPA315T.cMa.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU.
