eye, with Scer\GAL4GMR.PU
head, with Scer\GAL4elav.PU
Expression of Hsap\TBP109Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU does not cause morphological defects in the eyes of three week old adult flies when compared with controls, but loss of pigmentation is seen at 5 weeks and becomes more evident with age. Bristle loss and disorganization of ommatidial architecture are seen at 7 weeks. Insoluble inclusions are detected in the eye discs of the flies.
Flies expressing Hsap\TBP109Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU exhibit reduced motor function at 40 days in comparison with controls. Lifespan is significantly reduced compared to controls. Soluble and insoluble protein aggregates are detected in the heads of flies two days after eclosion. By one week the soluble fraction has disappeared, and by week three aggregates are clearly observed.
The number of rhabdomeres in the retina of 1-week old flies expressing Hsap\TBP109Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is reduced slightly compared to controls. A few scattered inclusions are seen.
Hsap\TBP109Q.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU has visible | progressive phenotype, enhanceable by TbpsI10
Hsap\TBP109Q.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU has eye phenotype, enhanceable by TbpsI10
Hsap\TBP109Q.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU has photoreceptor phenotype, enhanceable by TbpsI10
Hsap\TBP109Q.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU has photoreceptor phenotype, enhanceable by TbpUAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU
TbpsI10 enhances the eye phenotype seen in 7-week old flies when Hsap\TBP109Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU. The external ommatidial structures are uneven and large patches of depigmentation appear in the eyes. The number of photoreceptors is significantly reduced and rhabdomere fusion is seen.
Expression of TbpScer\UAS.cHa enhances the photoreceptor loss seen in 7-week old flies when Hsap\TBP109Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU. Rhabdomere fusion is seen, and additional and large inclusions are observed.
