UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of Hsap\SPAST containing an amino acid substitution (R431term).
The hereditary spastic paraplegia disease phenotype is examined in spas null (spas5.75) flies. Hsap\SPASTR431STOP.Scer\UAS partially rescues the spas5.75 disease phenotype, but less than human spastin wild-type, Hsap\SPASTScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus.
Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO/Hsap\SPASTR431STOP.UAS is a suppressor | partially of abnormal eclosion phenotype of spas5.75
Expression of Hsap\SPASTR431STOP.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO partially rescues the eclosion defects seen in spas5.75 homozygotes. Twice as many flies eclose as in spas5.75.
