The rhabdomeres appear normal and well-organised in flies expressing TbpScer\UAS.cHa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU. There is no obvious damage to the internal ommatidial structure.
TbpUAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is an enhancer of visible phenotype of Hsap\ATXN3tr.Q78.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU
TbpUAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is an enhancer of photoreceptor phenotype of Hsap\TBP109Q.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU
TbpUAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is an enhancer of eye phenotype of Hsap\ATXN3tr.Q78.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU
TbpUAS.cHa, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is an enhancer of photoreceptor phenotype of Hsap\ATXN3tr.Q78.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU
Hsap\HTTQ97.ex1.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU, TbpUAS.cHa has retina phenotype
Co-expression of TbpScer\UAS.cHa and Hsap\TBP36Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU has no effect on eye morphology.
Expression of TbpScer\UAS.cHa does not suppress the depigmentation phenotype seen in the eyes of flies expressing Hsap\TBP36Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU.
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.
Expression of TbpScer\UAS.cHa enhances the rough eye phenotype seen in the eyes of flies expressing Hsap\ATXN3tr.Q78.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU. The number of photoreceptors is also further reduced and there is an increase in aggregate formation.
Co-expressing TbpScer\UAS.cHa and Hsap\HTT97QP.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU induces severe retinal degeneration. The photoreceptor loss seen in Hsap\HTT97QP.Scer\UAS-expressing flies is enhanced, and there is increased protein aggregate formation.
