UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a wild-type Hsap\UQCRC1 cDNA. The coding sequence is tagged at the C-terminal end with Tag:V5.
UQCR-C1null/+ adults expressing Hsap\UQCRC1UAS.Tag:V5 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU show a progressive decline in climbing and jumping activity. Aged adult show decreased numbers of dopaminergic PPM1/2 and PPL1 neurons.
Third instar larvae show smaller NMJs, with fewer, unevenly spaced boutons; presynaptic compartments are unevenly enlarged, active zones form clusters in the enlarged boutons, boutons.
