A442P
Analogous A475P mutation in human TWNK implicated in Progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions, autosomal dominant 3; mutation carried on in vitro construct; site of nucleotide substitution in fly gene inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change.
FlyBase curator comment: "autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions 3" is associated with human ortholog TWNK.
Expressing mtDNA-helicaseA442P.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.PU leads to near full larval lethality, with very few individuals progressing through the pupal stage and until adulthood.
Expression of mtDNA-helicaseA442P.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 results in a significant decrease in mtDNA copy number in third instar larvae.
Wing discs of third instar larvae expressing mtDNA-helicaseK388A.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 show an increase in apoptosis and a decrease in cell proliferation compare to wild type.
