UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of wild-type Hsap\VPS35. The protein is tagged at the C-terminal end with Tag:HA.
Expression of Hsap\VPS35Scer\UAS.cWa.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PU results in age-progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the PPL1 cluster (but not in PAL, PM1/2, PPM3 and PPL2 clusters) in the adult brain and significantly reduces climbing ability of the adult flies compared to age-matched controls (at 20 and 40 but not at 60 days post-eclosion).
