Description

UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of Eaat1 that has been mutated to carry the P243R amino acid replacement equivalent to the P290R mutation that is associated with Type 6 episodic ataxia in the orthologous human gene (Hsap\SLC1A3). The protein is tagged at the C-terminal end with Venus.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Expression of Eaat1PR.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU in larvae does not result in astrocyte differentiation defects or change in astrocyte number, but astrocytes have abnormal mature morphology and display a reduction in neuropil infiltration, as compared to controls; and larvae display abnormally long and frequent episodes of complete paralysis during which they are flaccid and unable to respond to mechanical stimulation, but these larvae can achieve the same maximum speed as controls during phases when they are not paralyzed.

Statement
Reference

Co-expression of Ncc69Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 suppresses the reduced astrocyte infiltration and paralysis caused by expression of Eaat1PR.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU. Astrocyte numbers in these larvae are unchanged as compared to controls.

Comments

Expression of Eaat1PR.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU fails to rescue the loss of peristaltic contractions seen in Eaat1SM2/Eaat1SM2 mutant larvae.
