Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygous Reep1Δ275 mutant flies are perfectly viable and fertile. No difference between the lifespan of the mutants and controls is detected. Df(2R)BSC784 does not modify these phenotypes. Heteroallelic combination of Reep1Δ275 and Reep1Δ258 fails to reveal any abnormalities in locomotory behaviour (evaluated in climbing assays).

Homozygous Reep1Δ275 and Reep1Δ275/Df(2R)BSC784 mutants show lower resistance to high temperatures compared with wild-type.

Compared with wild-type, homozygous Reep1Δ275 and Reep1Δ275/Df(2R)BSC784 mutant flies show increased mortality upon tunicamycin treatment when testing response to misfolded protein stress in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Expression of Reep1Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG in postmitotic neurons using the pan-neuronal driver Scer\GAL4nSyb.PS can rescue the stress sensitivity phenotypes of Reep1Δ258/Reep1Δ275 and Reep1Δ275/Df(2R)BSC784 mutants.

Reep1Δ258/Reep1Δ275 enhances the neurodegeneration in retinas resulting from the expression of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU>Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.2N4R.cAa resulting in the formation of extensive necrotic areas, visible as black spots, over the eye surface.

Overexpression of Reep1Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG ameliorates the Scer\GAL4GMR.PU>Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.2N4R.cAa-induced eye-degeneration in the Reep1Δ258/Reep1Δ275 genetic background.

Overexpression of Hsap\REEP1Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG ameliorates the Scer\GAL4GMR.PU>Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.2N4R.cAa-induced eye-degeneration in the Reep1Δ258/Reep1Δ275 genetic background.

Reep1Δ258/Reep1Δ275 strongly increases the pathological formation of amyloid aggregates in retinas expressing Scer\GAL4GMR.PU>Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.2N4R.cAa as well as the incidence of ectopic actin-rich structures within these amyloid clusters.
