Heterozygous TbpsI10 mutant flies can survive to adulthood without obvious morphological defects, but suffer severe mobility defects. Newly eclosed flies perform significantly less well than wild type flies of the same age in climbing assays. TbpsI10/+ mutant flies have a significantly shorter lifespan than their wild type counterparts.
No anatomic abnormalities are observed in the nervous systems of newly eclosed TbpsI10/+ mutant flies. The gross morphology of the brain, such as the major projection system and brain volume appear normal. More and larger vacuoles are observed in the cortex and neuropil of older TbpsI10 heterozygous brains compared to wild type controls. External eye morphology appears normal.
Homozygous TbpsI10 mutant flies do not display any obvious damage in the internal ommatidial structure of the eye.

Second site dominant suppressor of Nact.sev that reduces the external roughness of the eye, in addition to causing the overall eye shape to become both rounder and larger, and less refractile.
TbpsI10 does not enhance the rough eye phenotype seen in 7-week old flies when Hsap\TBP36Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU.
TbpsI10 enhances the eye phenotype seen in 7-week old flies when Hsap\TBP109Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU. The external ommatidial structures are uneven and large patches of depigmentation appear in the eyes. The number of photoreceptors is significantly reduced and rhabdomere fusion is seen.
TbpsI10 enhances the photoreceptor loss seen in the eyes of flies expressing Hsap\ATXN3tr.Q78.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU. There is a reduction in the number of protein inclusions seen.
TbpsI10 enhances the eye phenotypes seen when Hsap\HTT97QP.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU. The eyes appear glassy with large necrotic patches and the photoreceptor loss is also further reduced. TbpsI10 has no effect on the amount of protein aggregates seen.
