Description

An expanded GAA triplet-repeat from the first intron of the human Hsap\FXN gene, with a GAA repeat length of about 200 units and obtained by PCR from the genomic DNA of a patient with Friedreich ataxia, has been inserted into the intron of the orthologous D. melanogaster fh gene. The Hsap\FXN sequence includes sequence from the human first intron flanking each side of the GAA expansion (157bp upstream and 125bp downstream sequence).

Comment:

Reported as a portion of the first intron of Hsap\FXN amplified from a Friedreich ataxia patient sample, containing around 200 GAA repeats flanked by 157nt of intron upstream and 125nt downstream, inserted between position 13 and 37 of the fh intron.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

At 26[o]C, some fh200GAA homozygous larvae reach pupal stage and some larvae exhibit extended third instar larval stage (remain alive for up to 13 days of development and continue to feed and grow but without reaching the final weight of control larvae entering the pupal stage).

At 16[o]C, some fh200GAA homozygotes reach the adult stage but they exhibit short lifespan.

fh200GAA homozygotes exhibit short lifespan and reduced ability to climb when raised at 16[o]C and then transferred to 26[o]C after eclosion.

fh200GAA adults expressing fhUAS.cAa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.Switch.PT exhibit sensitivity to oxidative stress induced either by hyperoxia or paraquat.

fh200GAA adults expressing fhUAS.cAa under the control of Scer\GAL4da.Switch.PT exhibit short lifespan and reduced ability to climb when they are fed with RU486 during development but not during adulthood.
