UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a mutant form of Hsap\LRRK2, which contains the amino acid replacement Y1699C.
Axonal transport of mitochondria is disrupted in larval motor neurons expressing Hsap\LRRK2Y1699C.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4D42.
Climbing and flight ability are reduced compared to controls in flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2Y1699C.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4D42.
Expression of Hsap\LRRK2Y1699C.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.
50 day old adults expressing Hsap\LRRK2Y1699C.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\LRRK2Y1699C.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF at 29[o]C.
Expression of Hsap\LRRK2Y1699C.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 at room temperature significantly extends the basal lifespan of flies compared to controls, while expression of Hsap\LRRK2Y1699C.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU at room temperature or at 29[o]C has no significant effect on basal lifespan.
Flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2Y1699C.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\LRRK2Y1699C.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF at 29[o]C show loss of pigmentation in the eyes. Significantly more black lesions are seen in the mutant eyes than in controls. 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.

Co-expression of either HDAC6KK100215 or Sirt2GD11528 suppresses the defects in axonal transport of mitochondria seen in larval motor neurons expressing Hsap\LRRK2Y1699C.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4D42.
Co-expression of either HDAC6KK100215 or Sirt2GD11528 significantly rescues the defects in flight ability seen in flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2Y1699C.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4D42.
Co-expression of Vps35EY14200 significantly suppresses locomotor deficits in flies with expression of Hsap\LRRK2Y1699C.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4Ddc.PU.
