UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a mutant form of Hsap\LRRK2, which contains the amino acid replacement I1122V.
Expression of Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4Ddc.PU causes significant locomotor deficits (reduced climbing ability) in 5 or 10 (but not 20, when all flies including controls show age-dependent locomotor deficits) day old flies, compared to controls.
Flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PG do not show a progressive reduction in electroretinogram amplitude (there is no significant difference in the amplitude seen in 3 and 28 day old flies).
50 day old adults expressing Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF at room temperature show loss of dopaminergic neurons in the dorsolateral posterior protocerebral cluster (PPL1) of the brain compared to control flies of the same age. A similar loss of neurons is seen in 20 day old adults expressing Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF at 29[o]C.
Expression of Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.Scer\UAS under the control of either Scer\GAL4da.G32 or Scer\GAL4elav.PU at room temperature or under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU at 29[o]C has no significant effect on basal lifespan.
Flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 have a significantly greater number of progeny compared with control flies.
Flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 at room temperature show a greater sensitivity to chronic exposure to low levels of rotenone then control flies.
Flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF at 29[o]C show loss of pigmentation in the eyes. Ultrastructurally, severe disruption of the regular trapezoidal arrangement of the photoreceptor cells is seen. The cell lattice between photoreceptor cell arrays of different ommatidia is completely absent and the ommatidia are sometimes fused together. Large holes are often seen in the eye sections.
Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.UAS, Scer\GAL4Ddc.PU has abnormal locomotor behavior | adult stage phenotype, suppressible by Vps35EY14200, Scer\GAL4Ddc.PU
Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF has visible phenotype, non-suppressible by Hsap\PINK1UAS.cYa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is a non-suppressor of visible phenotype of Hsap\PRKNUAS.cYa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF has pigment cell phenotype, non-suppressible by Hsap\PINK1UAS.cYa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF has eye phenotype, non-suppressible by Hsap\PINK1UAS.cYa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is an enhancer of interommatidial bristle phenotype of Hsap\PINK1UAS.cYa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is a non-suppressor of eye phenotype of Hsap\PRKNUAS.cYa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
Co-expression of Vps35EY14200 significantly suppresses locomotor deficits in flies with expression of Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4Ddc.PU.
Co-expression of Hsap\PINK1Scer\UAS.cYa does not significantly suppress the loss of pigmentation in the eye, the roughness of the eye surface or the formation of holes in eye sections that are seen in flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF at 29[o]C. The loss of interommatidial bristles that is seen in flies expressing Hsap\PINK1Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF at 29[o]C is enhanced by co-expression of Hsap\LRRK2I1122V.Scer\UAS.
