UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a mutated form of mtDNA-helicase which contains the amino acid replacement K388A.
FlyBase curator comment: "autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions 3" is associated with human ortholog TWNK.
Expressing mtDNA-helicaseK388A.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.PU leads to near full larval lethality, with very few larvae being able to enter the pre-pupa stage and dying immediately; most L3 larvae are apparently fully developed and mobile at day 5 after egg laying, but remain in this state for an additional 9 days before dying.
Expression of mtDNA-helicaseK388A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 results in a significant decrease in mtDNA copy number in third instar larvae.
Wing discs of third instar larvae expressing mtDNA-helicaseK388A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 show an increase in apoptosis and a decrease in cell proliferation compare to wild type.
Wing discs of third instar larvae expressing mtDNA-helicaseK388A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E show an increase in apoptotic clusters in the posterior compartment compared to the anterior compartment.
