Expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4c42 results in lethality in P-stage. Progeny appear grossly normal in both morphology and behavior until pupariation. Pupae are smaller in size as compared to wild type and display unevenly pigmented pupal cases, defective arrangement and morphology of trachea; begin to show signs of desiccation and shrinkage by 24-72h APF; display defects in epithelial morphogenesis, including dorsal closure and head eversion defects, leading to micro- or cryptocephaly; rudimentary or absent thoraces, and loss of 1-2 abdominal segments; defects in Malpighian tubules (MTs) including ectopic white concretions at 96h APF, loss of distinction between different segments, and variable reduction in lumen size or lumen loss of the main MT segment. MT function is severely impaired in both pupal and 3rd instar larval stages. Principal cells of the MT display enlarged nuclei with loose or fragmented chromatin in both third instar larvae and at 96h APF.

Expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4c649 results in lethality in P-stage. A small fraction are able to develop until just before eclosion, but are unable to open the pupal case and subsequently die; these flies display abnormal haltere position, abnormally large legs, rudimentary wings that appear to adhere to the abdomen, and excessive cuticle pigmentation. With assisted eclosion, these flies survive only up to 2-3 hrs.

Expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4Uro.PT does not result in lethality.

Expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU results in flies with severely abnormal eyes with an absence of pigmentation. Complete photoreceptor loss is seen in the retina.

Animals expressing Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU show variable eye degeneration with the phenotypes including loss of pigmentation, formation of necrotic patches and collapsed eyes. Loss of ommatidial clusters and ommatidial fusions are seen.

Polyglutamine inclusion bodies and disruption of the rhabdomere arrangement is seen in the eye discs of third instar larvae expressing Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU. The axonal projections of photoreceptor axons into the optic lobe are disrupted. The organisation of actin filaments in the eye disc is disrupted.

Expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 in the developing eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF induces clear defects in the eye, with defective ommatidia seen in 18% of cases.

Scer\GAL4GMR.PU-driven expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 induces severe eye degeneration and results in glazed, de-pigmented and collapsed eyes. Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 expressing pupal eyes show severe disorganisation and in many cases a complete loss of photoreceptor cells is also seen.

Unlike wild-type controls, flies overexpressing Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU do not show any significant phototaxis.

Pan-neuronal overexpression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 via Scer\GAL4elav.PU results in 100% lethality at pupal stage.

Scer\GAL4GMR.PF-mediated expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 causes eye degeneration.

Scer\GAL4GMR.PF-mediated expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 produces poly(Q) inclusion bodies in eye disc cells.

Expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 using Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in collapsed eyes with loss of pigmentation and disruption of the regular array of ommatidia. Retinal structure is disrupted, photoreceptor neurons are lost, and large vacuoles appear in the tissue.

Expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in a severe eye phenotype, however, while Scer\GAL4GMR.PF drives expression in the wing, no wing vein phenotype is observed. Expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, under the control of Scer\GAL4C5 in the wing pouch does not cause significant vein abnormalities, although it does induce a mild wing atrophy at 29oC. Overexpression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, under the control of Scer\GAL4C96 in the wing margin does not cause patterning defects.

Expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in a retinal degeneration phenotype.

Animals expressing Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 driven by Scer\GAL4179Y or Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a exhibit a severe sluggish larval movement phenotype. A large increase in neuronal apoptosis is seen. When Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 is overexpressed at 29oC larvae do not survive to adulthood but die at second or third instar larval stage.

Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF causes progressive eye degeneration. Mutants are effectively blind, exhibiting defective phototaxis behaviour.

Co-expression of Hsp60DdsRNA.Sym.Scer\UAS via Scer\GAL4elav.PU partially suppresses the lethality resulting from Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 overexpression. The lethal phase is shifted from early to late pupa, although no flies emerge.

Co-expression of Pros261.Scer\UAS via Scer\GAL4elav.PU does not significantly affect the Hsp60DdsRNA.Sym.Scer\UAS-mediated partial suppression of the eye degeneration phenotype caused by Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 overexpression.

The enhancement of the eye degeneration resulting from the overexpression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 via Scer\GAL4GMR.PU in a th5/+ background is not suppressed when Hsp60DdsRNA.Sym.Scer\UAS is co-expressed.

The pharate stage lethality due to co-expression of thdsRNA.Scer\UAS and Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 via Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is not suppressed by simultaneous expression of Hsp60DdsRNA.Sym.Scer\UAS.

The Hsp60DdsRNA.Sym.Scer\UAS-mediated suppression of the eye phenotype resulting from the expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is less pronounced in the presence of Uba2C175S.Scer\UAS.

The eye degeneration caused by Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 overexpression via Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is enhanced by co-expression of Pros261.Scer\UAS.

Heterozygosity for th5 enhances the eye degeneration resulting from the overexpression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 via Scer\GAL4GMR.PU.

Co-expression of thdsRNA.Scer\UAS via Scer\GAL4GMR.PU in Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1-expressing flies results in death at pharate stage.

Simultaneous expression of Uba2C175S.Scer\UAS and Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 via Scer\GAL4GMR.PU enhances the eye degeneration phenotype.

Df(3R)Hrb87F dominantly enhances the eye phenotype caused by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF-mediated expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, leading to formation of extensive black lesions on the eye surface. Furthermore, 24% of these flies die as differentiated pupae.

Inclusion of one copy of P{Sym-UAS-Hsrω} improves the eye morphology and substantially reduces the mortality seen in flies expressing Scer\GAL4GMR.PF-driven Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 in a Df(3R)Hrb87F/+ background.

Expression of HsrωEP3037 or HsrωEP93D in the Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, Df(3R)Hrb87F/+ background significantly enhances the appearence of black lesions on the eye surface. Expression of HsrωEP3037 in this background also increases pupal mortality, whereas expression of HsrωEP93D has no effect on mortality.

Expression of nejF2161A.Scer\UAS.T:SV5\V5 in the Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 background results in 23% lethality at the pupal stage. Surviving flies show a reduction in eye size and a greater disruption in ommatidial arrays. Additional co-expression of one copy of P{Sym-UAS-Hsrω} improves the eye morphology and size and reduces pupal death, whereas co-expression of HsrωEP3037 or HsrωEP93D results in a greater reduction in eye size, near complete loss of ommatidial arrays and bristles and the appearence of black lesions on the eye surface. Co-expression of HsrωEP3037 also enhances pupal lethality, whereas co-expression of HsrωEP93D does not enhance pupal death.

Expression of nejdsRNA.Scer\UAS.cKa in the Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 background results in >97% lethality at the pharate stage with eye degeneration being dramatically enhanced. Additional co-expression of P{Sym-UAS-Hsrω} robustly suppresses this enhanced eye damage, and also substantially reverses Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 eye degeneration in a dose-dependent manner. Co-expression of P{Sym-UAS-Hsrω} also improves emergence to adult stage in a dose-dependent manner.

The eye damage caused by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF-mediated expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 is suppressed by co-expression of one copy of P{Sym-UAS-Hsrω}, but enhanced by co-expression of Pros261.B.Scer\UAS and Prosβ21.Scer\UAS. Co-expression of P{Sym-UAS-Hsrω} still suppresses the damage in Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, Pros261.B.Scer\UAS, Prosβ21.Scer\UAS eyes, but the eyes are not rescued to the degree seen in Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 eyes.

The increase in inclusion bodies in larval eye discs caused by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF-mediated expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 is reduced by co-expression of one copy of P{Sym-UAS-Hsrω}, but further increased by co-expression of Pros261.B.Scer\UAS and Prosβ21.Scer\UAS. However, co-expression of P{Sym-UAS-Hsrω} fails to reduce the number of inclusion bodies in the Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, Pros261.B.Scer\UAS, Prosβ21.Scer\UAS background.

A Dp(3;3)st+g18 background (where Lmpt is duplicated) fails to suppress the degenerative eye phenotype found upon expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

Co-expression of two copies of P{Sym-UAS-Hsrω} nearly completely suppresses the Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF eye phenotype in 54% of flies; photoreceptor neurons show improved morphology with the majority of ommatidia showing the normal seven rhabdomeres. Co-expression of one copy of P{Sym-UAS-Hsrω} also mitigates the damage caused by Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, but to lesser extent.

Co-expression of either HsrωEP3037 or HsrωEP93D significantly enhances the Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF eye phenotype, leading to extensive black lesions on the eye surface.

Co-expression of a single copy of P{Sym-UAS-Hsrω} eliminates the enhancing effect of HsrωEP3037 or HsrωEP93D expression on the Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF eye phenotype, and also substantially reverses the eye degeneration primarily induced by Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1.

Co-expression of one or two copies of P{Sym-UAS-Hsrω} restores normal phototactic behaviour to Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF flies.

Co-expression of a single copy of P{Sym-UAS-Hsrω} in the Scer\GAL4elav-C155, Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 background increases the proportion of flies surviving to adulthood from 0% to 98%.

The neurodegeneration phenotype caused by expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is enhanced by Hsrω05241/+.

The presence of hoipGS7164 significantly enhances the neurodegeneration and rough eye phenotype seen upon expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

The presence of nop5Scer\UAS.cMa significantly enhances the neurodegeneration and rough eye phenotype seen upon expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

The presence of Nop56Scer\UAS.cMa significantly enhances the neurodegeneration and rough eye phenotype seen upon expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

Co-expression of Hsap\STUB1Scer\UAS.cAa does not suppress the eye phenotypes caused by expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

The severity of the neurodegeneration phenotypes caused by expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF are enhanced by Hsrω05241. In the adult eye, in a Hsrω05241/+ background, the eyes are significantly reduced in size and in some cases necrotic lesions are also seen. In the developing eye disc, in a Hsrω05241 homozygous background, a more severe disorganisation of the ommatidial units and their projections is seen; individual ommatidial cellular integrity is lost and axonal connections to the optic stalk appear highly irregular.

Eyes of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1/Scer\GAL4GMR.PF ; Df(3R)Hrb87F/+ flies exhibit dark necrotic patches covering almost all of the entire eye. This phenotype is not seen in the Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1/Scer\GAL4GMR.PF mutant, indicating that Df(3R)Hrb87F/+ acts as a dominant enhancer of poly-Q toxicity.

The neurodegeneration phenotype caused by expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is enhanced by l(3)pl10R/+; black necrotic patches cover almost the entire eye and eyes are reduced in size.

The neurodegeneration phenotype caused by expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is enhanced by co-expression of either HsrωEP93D or HsrωEP3037 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF; extensive black necrotic lesions are seen in the eye.

The eye phenotype caused by expressing Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF, is not suppressed by coexpression of Hsap\BoatScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG.

When Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 is driven in neurons either by Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a or Scer\GAL4179Y, and combined with Khc9, mutant larval nerves contain axonal blockages. Mutant nerves also contain enlarged axons, some almost four or five times the diameter of those seen in wild-type. Sometimes "holes" lacking organelles are seen within the nerve.

The addition of nejEP1149 rescues the eye phenotype seen in Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF mutants. The addition of nejEP1179 rescues the eye and the phototaxis phenotypes seen in Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF mutants. The addition of nejP enhances the eye phenotype seen in Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF mutants.

Expression of MlfScer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF suppresses the structural and pigmentation defects observed in Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 mutants.

The presence of MlfEU2490 dramatically reduces the external eye and pigmecntation defects caused by expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.

DnaJ-1EU3500 suppresses of the eye degeneration phenotype caused by expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF; the eye preserves its globular structure, pigmentation and uniform bristle arrangement and the structure of the retina is vastly improved. Tpr2EU3220 suppresses of the eye degeneration phenotype caused by expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF; external structure and pigmentation is improved. There is some improvement of internal retinal structure (some degeneration is seen). Co-expression of DnaJ-1Scer\UAS.cKa or Tpr2Scer\UAS.cKa suppresses of the eye degeneration phenotype caused by expression of Zzzz\CAG127Q.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.
