Description

UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an altered form of Hsap\PABPN1 which encodes 17 alanine residues following the initial methionine, instead of the wild-type number of 10.

Expression of Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PU leads to age-progressive wing posture defects (wings up or down) and adult thoracic muscle degeneration with nuclear Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS protein inclusions forming in the fibers.

Expression of Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS, under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW can lead to two wing position phenotypes: wings up or wings down. When flies are raised at 25oC, more than 90% show this phenotype by day 3. When flies are raised at 18oC (when the Scer\GAL4 driver is less active) the phenotype reaches 90% on day 5. At this temperature, many more Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW>Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS flies show the phenotype than flies overexpressing a wild-type Hsap\PABPN1 construct.

Although Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW>Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS flies show a wing position phenotype at 2 days, no extensive musculature defects can be observed at this time, although occasional vacuoles can be found in the area containing mitochondria and nuclear inclusions are present. By day 6, however, indirect flight muscle fibers are strongly affected with thin, disorganized myofibrils that have broken Z bands and no M bands. These fibers lack mitochondria and have many vacuoles present, and apoptotic nuclei can be observed. By day 16, muscle fibers are thin and strongly irregular.

Locomotor muscles of third instar larvae expressing Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW appear thin with an irregular pattern of nuclei. Nuclear structure is also affected.

Expression of srlEY05931 does not suppress the wing posture defects seen when Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW.

Expression of Ets97DScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 does not suppress the wing posture defects seen when Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW.

Expression of ewgEY05137 suppresses the wing posture defects seen when Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW.

Expression of ERRG4389 suppresses the wing posture defects seen when Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW.

twinGS8115 suppresses the wing posture defects seen when Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW. The number of nuclei containing aggregates increases in the presence of twinGS8115, although the cross-sectional area remains the same.

The age progressive wing posture defects (wings up or down) characteristic for flies expressing Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PU is not suppressed by combination with either bbN or Df(1)17-87 alone, but when combined with the two together, the frequency of the abnormal wing posture phenotype is significantly reduced.

Coexpression of the Hsc70-4Scer\UAS.cEa or BacA\p35Scer\UAS.cHa transgenes result in efficient suppression of the wing posture phenotype of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW>Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS flies. Expression of Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS, under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW in a Hsp70AbEY01148 or Hsp83e6A mutant background also suppresses the phenotype. Coexpression of DnaJ-1Scer\UAS.cKa weakly suppresses the phenotype.

Coexpression of the Hsap\HSPA1LScer\UAS.cWa transgene results in efficient suppression of the wing posture phenotype of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW>Hsap\PABPN117ala.Scer\UAS flies.
