Amino acid replacement: A229E.
GCC to GAA/G mutation. Analogous mutation in human VCP implicated in inclusion body myopathy with early-onset Paget disease with or without frontotemporal dementia 1; mutation carried on in vitro construct; site of nucleotide substitution in fly gene inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change.
Eye degeneration used to model disease. Point mutation in TER94A229E.Scer\UAS.R models that associated with the most severe form of Inclusion Body Myopathy associated with Paget’s Disease of Bone
and Frontotemporal Dementia.
Expression of TER94A229E.Scer\UAS.R in the developing eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF generates a severe rough eye phenotype with necrotic patches and histologically evident marked vacuolar degeneration.
