    Detailed Description
    Statement
    Reference

    Chchd2H43 homozygous adults are viable, eclose from the pupal case at the expected mendelian ratio and do not present visible morphological defects, but present a progressive decrease in locomotion in negative geotaxis assays and a decreased life-span, including upon paraquat treatment, hydrogen peroxide treatment and starvation, as compared to controls; the mitochondria from adult indirect flight muscles present a progressive increase in the frequency and severity of morphology defects, including disordering, swirling and fragmentation of the cristae, and dilatation of the matrix space, as compared to controls; the adult brain of these individuals exhibit a progressive decrease in the number of dopaminergic PPL1 neurons, without evidence of increased apoptosis, but insignificant changes in the number of dopaminergic PAL, PPM1/2, PPM3 and PPL2 neurons, as compared to controls.

    Statement
    Reference

    The frequency and severity of the mitochondria morphological defects displayed in the adult indirect flight muscles of Chchd2H43 homozygotes are significantly enhanced by the expression of Mics1NIG.1287R under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PU, while being suppressed by the expression of Mics1Scer\UAS.ORF.GW.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PU. The decreased life-span, the locomotor defects and the decreased number of dopaminergic PPL1 neurons in the brain presented by Chchd2H43 homozygous adults are also suppressed by the expression of ThorScer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PU.

    Homozygosity for Chchd2H43 does not enhance the mitochondria morphology defects of the adult indirect flight muscles from either park1/parkΔ21 transheterozygotes or individuals expressing Pink1dsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PU.

    Xenogenetic Interactions
    Statement
    Reference

    The decreased life-span, the increased mortality upon treatment with hydrogen peroxide, the mitochondria morphology defects in adult indirect flight muscles and the decreased number of dopaminergic PPL1 neurons in the adult brain, presented by Chchd2H43 homozygotes, are all partially suppressed by the expression of Hsap\CHCHD2WT.Scer\UAS, but not of Hsap\CHCHD2T61I.Scer\UAS or Hsap\CHCHD2R145Q.Scer\UAS, under the control of Scer\GAL4da.PU. The Scer\GAL4da.PU-driven expression of Hsap\CHCHD2WT.Scer\UAS, Hsap\CHCHD2T61I.Scer\UAS or Hsap\CHCHD2R145Q.Scer\UAS partially suppresses the adult locomotor defects presented by Chchd2H43 homozygous but does not significantly change their numbers of dopaminergic PAL, PPM1/2, PPM3 or PPL2 neurons in the adult brain.

    Complementation and Rescue Data
    Partially rescued by
    Comments

    The decreased life-span, the locomotor defects and the mitochondria morphology defects in indirect flight muscle mitochondria presented by Chchd2H43 homozygous adults are partially rescued by the expression of Chchd2Scer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.PU.
