Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Expression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4BG380, Scer\GAL4nSyb.PU or Scer\GAL4elav.PU, but not Scer\GAL4G7, in larvae leads to specific accumulation of a subset of synaptic cargo in axons, as compared to controls.

Expression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4BG380 in larval neuromuscular junctions leads to a decrease in the number of active zones at the synapses, a decrease in the number of T-bars per active zone at the synapses, a decrease in the size of synaptic boutons, a reduction in the frequency (but not the amplitude) of mini excitatory junction potentials (mEJP), a reduction in excitatory junction potential (EJP) amplitude, and a decrease in quantal content, but does not affect synaptic span or density, and does not affect axonal mitochondrial transport nor the levels or size of mitochondria, as compared to controls.

Overexpression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa in the developing eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF leads to a rough-eye phenotype.

Expression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4C-765 results in misorientation of wing hairs primarily in a proximal region up to the L3-1 location (position of the most proximal dorsal campaniform sensillum on vein L3), with wing hair polarity being normal more distal to the L3-1 location. These animals show defects in the directional preferences of growing microtubules in wing cells 24 hours after puparium formation; in the proximal region up to the L3-1 location, subpopulations of proximodistal oriented microtubules are decreased with a concomitant increase in those of anteroposterior oriented ones, and in addition the proximodistal asymmetry of microtubule polarity is milder than in wild type and is no longer statistically significant in the mutant animals.

Adult eyes expressing par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PS display a reduced, rough-eye phenotype with disordered ommatidia and missing bristles. Retinal sections show disorganized ommatidia with marked disorganization of photoreceptor neurons.

Expression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW results in an approximately 60% decrease in the number of type I boutons at the neuromuscular junction of muscle 6/7 and the overall structure of the synaptic nerve terminals is simplified compared to controls. There is a dramatic loss of subsynaptic reticulum in the mutant boutons compared to controls and the mutant presynaptic regions show a moderate decrease in synaptic vesicle density and active zone number.

Expression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU has no significant effect on the number of boutons at the neuromuscular junction of muscle 6/7.

The frequency and amplitude of the miniature excitatory junctional current are reduced by 60% and 40% respectively compared to controls in animals expressing par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW. The amplitude of the evoked excitatory junctional current is reduced by 44% compared to controls in animals expressing par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW. The quantal content is not significantly altered in these animals.

Flies expressing a strong par-1Scer\UAS.cSa expression line under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev have severely reduced eyes, with fused ommatidia and missing interommatidial bristles. Flies expressing a weak or mild par-1Scer\UAS.cSa expression line under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev have slightly reduced eyes which appear rough and have disordered ommatidia and occasional missing bristles. Flies expressing par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev show loss of photoreceptor neurons (a 0.9% loss in photoreceptor neurons is seen in a weak par-1Scer\UAS.cSa expression line). Flies expressing par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 have a mild rough eye phenotype and show loss of photoreceptor neurons. Flies expressing par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB (using daily heat shock treatment starting from the first larval instar) have rough eyes and show loss of photoreceptor neurons. Heat shock starting from pupal or young adult stages also results in a photoreceptor loss phenotype in these flies. Expression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Cha.7.4 has little effect on the cholinergic neurons.

Expression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 results in an cuticle phenotype in which the 4th or 5th abdominal denticle belt is replaced by naked cuticle.

tauMR22/+ fails to suppress the axonal transport defects seen in flies expressing par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4BG380.

dlg17/+ enhances the reduction in the number boutons at the neuromuscular junction which is seen in animals expressing par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW.

Co-expression of either dlg1WT.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP or dlg1SA.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP partially suppresses the the decrease in the number of boutons at the neuromuscular junction which is seen in animals expressing par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW.

Co-expression of dlg1SD.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP does not suppress the decrease in the number of boutons at the neuromuscular junction which is seen in animals expressing par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW.

The loss of subsynaptic reticulum and reduction in synaptic vesicle density and active zone number that is seen at the neuromuscular junction in animals expressing par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW is largely rescued by co-expression of dlg1SA.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP.

The electrophysiological defects caused by expression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW are suppressed by co-expression of dlg1WT.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP.

The electrophysiological defects caused by expression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW are not suppressed by co-expression of dlg1SD.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP.

The defects in the frequency and amplitude of the miniature excitatory junctional current which are caused by expression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW are suppressed by co-expression of dlg1SA.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP. The double mutant animals show a slight increase in the amplitude of the evoked excitatory junctional current compared to wild-type controls, and the quantal content is also higher than normal.

The eye degeneration phenotype seen in flies expressing a strong par-1Scer\UAS.cSa expression line under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev is partly suppressed by Df(3R)R97/+.

Xenogenetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

Coexpression of a low-expression Hsap\DAPK1Scer\UAS.cWa with par-1Scer\UAS.cSa in the developing eye, both under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, produces a synergistic interaction, resulting in markedly reduced eye size with fewer ommatidia.

Coexpression of a low-expression Hsap\DAPK1K42A.Scer\UAS with par-1Scer\UAS.cSa in the developing eye, both under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, produces a synergistic interaction, resulting in markedly reduced eye size with fewer ommatidia.

The rough-eye phenotype produced by Scer\GAL4GMR.PS-mediated expression of Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.wt is stronger when par-1Scer\UAS.cSa is co-expressed; the mild disorganization of the retina observed in Scer\GAL4GMR.PS, Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.wt eyes is dramatically increased, resulting in smaller eyes with more missing bristles and fused ommatidia. Co-expression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa also increases the severity of the ommatidial polarity and rhabdomere loss phenotypes seen in Scer\GAL4GMR.PS, Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.wt retinas. These effects may be additive rather than synergistic.

Coexpression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa results in only a modest worsening of the Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.S2A, Scer\GAL4GMR.PS rough-eye phenotype; the double transgenics have slightly more irregular eyes with disordered and occasional missing bristles. The internal retinal morphology of flies coexpressing par-1Scer\UAS.cSa and Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.S2A is only slightly worse than that of flies expressing Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.S2A alone, with slightly misshapen rhabdomeres and a moderate loss of photoreceptor neurons.

The eye and retinal phenotypes seen in Hsap\MAPTGMR.Ex.PJ animals are enhanced by Scer\GAL4GMR.PS-mediated co-expression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa.

The Hsap\MAPTGMR.S11A small and rough eye phenotype is enhanced by Scer\GAL4GMR.PS-mediated co-expression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa. Retinas of the double transgenics show dramatic disruption.

Co-expression of a weak par-1Scer\UAS.cSa expression line enhances the eye phenotype caused by expression of Hsap\MAPTR406W.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev, resulting in smaller eyes. A 15% loss in photoreceptor neurons is seen in these flies. Co-expression of par-1Scer\UAS.cSa and Hsap\MAPTR406W.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ChAT.7.4 results in profound vacuole formation in the cell bodies and neuronal processes of the cholinergic neurons. Co-expression of Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.cWa and par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev exacerbates the eye phenotype compared to expression of Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.cWa or par-1Scer\UAS.cSa alone. Co-expression of Hsap\MAPTR406W.S2A.Scer\UAS.0N4R in flies expressing par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev results in a mild rough eye phenotype similar to that seen in flies expressing par-1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.2sev alone.
