Detailed Description

Reference

Larvae expressing Hsap\ATXN3fl.Q78.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 in class IV da neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.PG exhibit striking dendritic abnormalities compared to controls. Terminal dendritic branching is greatly reduced compared to controls, whereas the major dendrite branches are unaffected.

Expression of Hsap\ATXN3fl.Q78.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 in dorsal cluster neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4109(2)80 results in a reduction in F-actin structures in distal dendrites.

Expression of Hsap\MJDQ78.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, induces progressive degeneration of photoreceptors, coupled with the formation of protein aggregates in 2-day old flies.

Expression of Hsap\MJDfl.Q78.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in neural degeneration in the eye. Co-expression of Hsap\MJDfl.Q27.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC dramatically improves the retinal structure in flies expressing Hsap\MJDfl.Q78.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

Co-expression of Hsap\VCPScer\UAS.cBa with Hsap\MJDQ78.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, both under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, leads to a suppression of the Hsap\MJDQ78.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 photoreceptor degeneration phenotype in 2-day old flies.
