UASt regulates expression of wild type Hsap\LRRK2 tagged with Tag:MYC at the C terminus.
Expression of Hsap\LRRK2WT.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL does not result in climbing defects or loss of dopaminergic neurons, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing Hsap\LRRK2WT.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU present a decreased lifespan compared to controls.
Expression of Hsap\LRRK2WT.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B has no effect on mitochondrial morphology in the flight muscles. Climbing behaviour is also normal.
Scer\GAL4elav.PU-mediated expression of Hsap\LRRK2WT.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC does not appear to compromise the overall anatomical integrity of the fly’s brain up to 60 d after eclosion.
Scanning electron microscope analysis reveals no apparent eye abnormalities in Scer\GAL4GMR.PU Hsap\LRRK2WT.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC flies at 20 d after eclosion. Similar observations are made when these flies are aged to 60 d.
All the DA neuronal clusters, including PPM 1 and 3, remain unaffected in flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2WT.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC via Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL relative to age-matched control flies.
Flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2WT.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC via Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL record similar climbing scores as controls.
There is no accelerated loss of DA neurons of rotenone-treated flies expressing Hsap\LRRK2WT.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC via Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL, compared to controls.
Hsap\LRRK2WT.UAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4elav.PU has short lived phenotype, suppressible | partially by Hsap\PRDX3UAS.cAa, Scer\GAL4elav.PU
Hsap\LRRK2WT.UAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4elav.PU is a suppressor | partially of short lived phenotype of Hsap\PRDX3UAS.cAa, Scer\GAL4elav.PU
Co-expression of Hsap\LRRK2WT.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC partially suppresses the decreased lifespan induced by the expression of Hsap\PRDX3Scer\UAS.cAa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU.
