The G328E mutation frequently occurs in inherited Parkinson's disease, but no phenotype is observed when this mutation is introduced into flies.
Scer\GAL4elav.PU-mediated expression of Hsap\PARK2G328E.Scer\UAS does not compromise the overall anatomical integrity of the adult brain.
PPL1 and PAM (as well as PAL, PPL2, PPM1/2 and PPM3) neurons remain intact in flies expressing Hsap\PARK2G328E.Scer\UAS via Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL.
Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL, Hsap\PARK2G328E.Scer\UAS flies do not show a significant impairment in the ability in their climbing ability compared to controls.
The indirect flight muscles of Scer\GAL4how-24B, Hsap\PARK2G328E.Scer\UAS flies do not show abnormal mitochondria - mitochondria are generally intact.
