UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of Hsap\BNIP3 cDNA, with a C-terminal Tag:HA tag.
The constitutive expression of Hsap\BNIP3Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4da.PU induces lethality.
The expression of Hsap\BNIP3Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PU leads to no obvious defects in either adult locomotion (assessed by negative geotaxis assays), wing posture, thorax morphology, or in the mitochondria of indirect flight muscles and of thorax, as compared to controls; expression under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PU also leads to no obvious defects in mitochondria in adult dendritic arborizing neurons, as compared to controls.
The expression of Hsap\BNIP3Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PU fully suppresses the adult locomotive defects, the wing posture defects, the thorax morphology defects and the mitochondrial aggregation defects in both indirect flight muscles and thorax exhibited by Pink1B9 homozygous adults; expression under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PU also fully suppresses the mitochondria aggregation defects present in dendritic arborization neurons of Pink1B9 homozygous adults.
