UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of Hsap\DNM1L carrying the E379K amino acid replacement identified in whole exome sequencing of an individual with infantile encephalopathy.
Expression of Hsap\DNM1LE379K.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI does not affect peroxisome morphology or their number per cell in the salivary glands of third instar larvae.
Scer\GAL4da.PU/Hsap\DNM1LE379K.UAS is a suppressor of lethal phenotype of Drp12/Drp11
Drp11, Hsap\DNM1LE379K.UAS, Scer\GAL4Toll-6-D42 has bouton | third instar larval stage phenotype
The lethality of Drp11/Drp12 transheterozygotes is rescued by expression of Hsap\DNM1LE379K.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.PU in the mutant background.
Expression of Hsap\DNM1LE379K.Scer\UAS under the control of either Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI or Scer\GAL4Mef2.PU does not cause lethality when expressed in sensitised Drp11/+ background.
Expression of Hsap\DNM1LE379K.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PU in sensitised Drp11/+ background does not cause any defects in the morphology or number of mitochondria in third instar larval muscles. Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Toll-6-D42 does not cause mitochondria trafficking defects in the ventral nerve cord, axons but leads to clear trafficking defect at the level of synaptic boutons (number of mitochondria per bouton is significantly decreased compared to controls) in third instar larvae.
