Expression of two copies of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF leads to a small, non-significant decrease in the number of dopaminergic neurons in the PPL1 cluster in adults, and leads to decreased lifespan, but does not cause climbing defects, heat stress recovery defects, or bang sensitivity, as compared to controls.

Expression of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF results in dopaminergic cell loss in the dorsolateral cluster.

Third instar larvae expressing Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa in dopaminergic neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF have significantly slower locomotion compared to wild type.

The brains of third instar larvae expressing Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF have a decreased number of dopaminergic neurons in each of the three clusters (dorsomedial, dorsolateral 1 and dorsolateral 2). The phenotype is age-dependent; the number of DA neurons in first instar larvae is similar to wild type.

Expression of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu or Scer\GAL4ple.PF causes age-dependent defects in the negative geotaxis response (i.e. the innate tendency to walk upwards after being tapped to the bottom of their containing vial).

Brains from aged Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa-expressing flies exhibit an average loss of 1.5-2 neurons per PPL1 cluster, relative to age-matched controls.

One-day old flies expressing two copies of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of two copies of Scer\GAL4ple.PF do not exhibit a loss of ple-positive neurons, relative to controls. In contrast, 20-day old flies carrying two copies of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa and two copies of Scer\GAL4ple.PF exhibit a statistically significant reduction in the number of ple-positive neurons in the protocerebral posterior lateral 1 (PPL1) cluster, relative to wild-type controls. Neuronal loss is not detected in flies bearing one or two copies of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa and Scer\GAL4elav.PLu at 20 or more days of age.

Feeding sulforaphane or allyl disulfide to flies expressing Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF suppresses DA neuron loss.

Df(3R)GBA1ΔTT/Df(3R)GBA1ΔTT enhances the dopaminergic neuron loss to a significant level, leads to climbing defects and reduced recovery after heat-induced paralysis, and enhances the reduced survival, but does not lead to bang sensitivity in flies expressing two copies of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF.

Expression of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PS enhances the rough eye phenotype seen in flies expressing Hsap\MAPTGMR.Ex.PJ, with the phenotype extending farther posteriorly. Eyes of animals co-expressing Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa are more flattened than those expressing Hsap\MAPTGMR.Ex.PJ alone.

Expression of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa enhances the appreciable increase in cell death (cleaved caspase activity) posterior to the morphogenetic furrow seen in flies expressing Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.wt under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PS.

Expression of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa enhances the severe motor deficits seen in flies expressing Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.wt in post-mitotic neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155.

Expression of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa enhances the proportion of abnormal boutons in the neuromuscular junctions of larvae expressing Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.wt under the control of Scer\GAL4RapGAP1-OK6.

Expression of Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.wt enhances the dopaminergic cell loss seen in the dorsolateral cluster of flies expressing Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF results in dopaminergic cell loss in the dorsolateral cluster.

Flies co-expressing Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa and Hsap\MAPTGMR.Ex.PJ under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PS show highly disorganised actin bundles.

Expression of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa enhances the extent of the microtubule shaft disorganisation seen in the retinas of flies expressing Hsap\MAPTGMR.Ex.PJ.

Expression of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa enhances the increase in segmental nerve axonal aggregates seen in larvae expressing Hsap\MAPTScer\UAS.wt under the control of Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371.

Co-expression of cncScer\UAS.cSa with Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa (specifically at 2-5 days after eclosion), under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF, prevents the deficit in locomotor performance induced by Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa expression.

Expression of cncScer\UAS.cSa at 25[o]C 2-5 days after eclosion has no effect on the age-associated decline in negative geotaxis found in flies expressing Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF.

Flies expressing Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF in a Keap1EY5/+ background display locomotor activity similar to that of wild-type flies, indicating that the Keap1EY5/+ background suppresses the age-dependent decay in negative geotaxis response found in Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa-expressing flies.

A Keap1EY5/+ background, the neuron loss experienced in PPL1 clusters upon expression of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF is restored to wild-type levels.

Flies co-expressing Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa and Keap1dsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF display locomotor activity similar to that of wild-type flies, indicating suppression of the age-dependent negative geotaxis response found in Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa-expressing flies.

Co-expression of maf-SScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 with Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa, both under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF, suppresses the age-dependent defects in negative geotaxis.

Co-expression of maf-SScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 in flies expressing Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF, does not affect the number of PPL1 neurons in either young or old flies, but is sufficient to rescue the Hsap\SNCA-induced neurotoxicity in old flies.

A Df(3L)H99 background suppresses the neuronal loss seen upon expression of multiple copies of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF.

A GstS1M26 mutant background enhances the DA neuron loss found in flies expressing Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF.

Co-expression of GstS1Scer\UAS.P\T.cWa fully suppresses the neuronal loss observed in 2-day old flies expressing two copies of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of two copies of Scer\GAL4ple.PF.

The decreased Gclm activity in GclmL0580 homozygotes is found to significantly enhance the DA neuron loss induced by expression of Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF.

Expression of GclmScer\UAS.cOa completely rescues the neuronal loss induced by Hsap\SNCAScer\UAS.cTa expression in 20- and 30-day old flies.
