Scer\GAL4elav.PU-mediated expression of Hsap\PARK2R275W.Scer\UAS does not compromise the overall anatomical integrity of the adult brain.
Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL, Hsap\PARK2R275W.Scer\UAS fly brains show an obvious loss of dopaminergic neurons in the PPL1 cluster. This loss is age-dependent and is not seen in other dopaminergic neuronal clusters, including PAL, PPL2, PPM1/2 and PPM3. However, there is a significant reduction of ple-positive neurons in the PAM cluster.
Scer\GAL4elav.PU, Hsap\PARK2R275W.Scer\UAS fly brains exhibit marked loss of dopaminergic PPL1 neurons but not serotonergic neurons.
Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL, Hsap\PARK2R275W.Scer\UAS flies show a significant impairment in the ability in their climbing ability at 10 days after eclosion which progressively worsens with age.
The morphology of surviving PPL1 neurons in Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL, Hsap\PARK2R275W.Scer\UAS flies exposed to rotenone is compromised more than in controls. The number of PPL1 neurons in Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL, Hsap\PARK2R275W.Scer\UAS flies exposed to rotenone is modestly but significantly decreased compared to controls. The climbing ability of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL, Hsap\PARK2R275W.Scer\UAS flies exposed to rotenone is decreased compared to controls.
The indirect flight muscles of Scer\GAL4how-24B, Hsap\PARK2R275W.Scer\UAS flies are typified by a significant number of abnormal mitochondria.
Hsap\PRKNR275W.UAS has abnormal locomotor behavior | adult stage phenotype, enhanceable by park1
Hsap\PRKNR275W.UAS/Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL is an enhancer of abnormal locomotor behavior | adult stage phenotype of park1
Hsap\PRKNR275W.UAS/Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL is a non-enhancer of dopaminergic PPL1 neuron | adult stage phenotype of park1
Hsap\PRKNR275W.UAS/Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL is a non-enhancer of adult dopaminergic PAM neuron | adult stage phenotype of park1
Hsap\PRKNR275W.UAS/Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL is a non-suppressor of dopaminergic PPL1 neuron | adult stage phenotype of park1
Hsap\PRKNR275W.UAS/Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL is a non-suppressor of adult dopaminergic PAM neuron | adult stage phenotype of park1
Scer\GAL4how-24B/Hsap\PRKNR275W.UAS is a non-suppressor of mitochondrion phenotype of park1
Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL-mediated expression of Hsap\PARK2R275W.Scer\UAS does not affect the reduction in dopaminergic neurons in the PPL1 and PAM clusters seen in 20-day old park1 flies.
park1 flies that also carry Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL, Hsap\PARK2R275W.Scer\UAS are poorer climbers than either single genotype alone.
The mitochondrial defects seen in park1 indirect flight muscles persist when Hsap\PARK2R275W.Scer\UAS is expressed using Scer\GAL4how-24B.
