UASt regulates expression of the 84GG variant of Hsap\GBA, tagged with Tag:MYC and Tag:polyHis. The 84GG mutation is an insertion of a guanine 84 nucleotides downstream from the first initiator methionine of the Hsap\GBA mRNA, resulting in premature protein termination, and has been widely observed among Parkinson disease patients.
The expression of Hsap\GBA84GG.UAS.Tag:MYC,Tag:polyHis under the control of Scer\GAL4Ddc.PL induces a progressive decrease in the climbing ability of adult, but does not seem to have an obvious effect on the number of adult dopaminergic neurons (total neurons and PPL1, PPM1/2 and PPM3 cluster neurons), as compared to controls.
