The life-span of MTF-1140-1R mutant flies is not affected on zinc-supplemented medium, but significantly reduced on normal food or cadmium-supplemented medium compared with wild-type flies.

Overexpression of MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa in the gut under the control of Scer\GAL4NP2020 moderately increases resistance to iron and cadmium toxicity in an MTF-1140-1R mutant background but sensitises flies to zinc supplementation.

Overexpression of MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa in hemocytes under the control of Scer\GAL4clu-NP6219 fully rescues the cadmium-sensitive phenotype of MTF-1140-1R mutant flies but increases sensitivity to zinc toxicity.

Iron treatment results in substantial ferritin expression in the anterior midgut of MTF-1140-1R knockdown mutant larvae.

Homozygous flies show a metal sensitive phenotype (they are sensitive to zinc, cadmium and copper).

MTF-1140-1R mutants are developmentally arrested and die at second or third instar larval stages when the concentration of copper chelator bathocuproinedisulfonate reaches 50υM in the food.

MTF-1140-1R homozygotes raised on food containing a copper chelator (50μM bathocuproine disulfonate) do not survive to eclosion.

MTF-1140-1R homozygotes raised on food containing Cu2+ (1mM or 2mM ), Cd2+ (100μM or 200μM) or Zn2+ (2mM, 4mM or 6mM) show greatly reduced survival or no survival to eclosion compared to heterozygous controls.

Mutants are more sensitive to elevated concentrations of cadmium, copper or zinc than wild-type flies. Whereas 30-4-% of embryos laid by wild-type flies exposed to either 100uM of CdCl2, 1mM of CuSO4, or 6mM ZnCl2 survive to adulthood, no eggs laid by mutant animals survive in these conditions. Mutant animals are also more sensitive to Copper depletion. When mutant animals are exposed to Copper chelators BCS (100uM) and TTM (5uM) no embryos laid by these animals survive (compared to 40-50% for eggs laid by wild-type animals). Mutant larvae die at first and second instar larval stages. Mutant larvae also exhibit a dramatically extended larval period on copper depletion, some mutant larvae still remaining after 32 days. These larvae are the size of third instar larvae, but still exhibit features (e.g. the tracheal system and mouth) of second instar larvae.

park25/MTF-1140-1R double mutants are synthetic lethal at the pupal stage. Raising these flies on 15Mm N-acetylcysteine, a precursor to glutathione overcomes the synthetic lethality seen in these double mutants. the presence of ascorbate, zinc, or metal chelators of copper and iron does not rescue synthetic lethality.

The presence of MTF-1αTub84B.PS rescues the synthetic lethality found in park25/MTF-1140-1R double mutants.

fbl1, MTF-1140-1R homozygotes are viable but are sensitive to excess metals and show a behavioral walking phenotype.

Expression of CG10505Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act in a MTF-1140-1R mutant background partially rescues the zinc and copper sensitivity phenotype of MTF-1140-1R animals, but has no effect on the sensitivity of these animals to cadmium.

Expression of ZnT35Cb.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act has no effect on the metal sensitivity of MTF-1140-1R flies.

Expression of ZnT35Ca.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act partially rescues the zinc sensitivity phenotype of MTF-1140-1R flies, but has no effect on the sensitivity of these animals to cadmium.

Constitutive expression of Ctr1BScer\UAS.cSa, under the regulation of Scer\GAL4Act5C rescues the developmental arrest and larval lethality of MTF-1140-1R mutants under copper depletion, with several viable MTF-1140-1R Ctr1BScer\UAS.cSa (Scer\GAL4Act5C) flies surviving on food containing 50 or even 100υM bathocuproinedisulfonate (a copper chelator). The rescued flies are normal and fertile.

Expression of Hsap\MTF1Scer\UAS.P\T.cBa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act in MTF-1140-1R homozygotes partially rescues the sensitivity of MTF-1140-1R to copper depletion (caused by the copper chelator bathocuproine disulfonate), as increase survival to eclosion is seen.

The sensitivity of MTF-1140-1R homozygotes to heavy metal ions is partially rescued by expression of Hsap\MTF1Scer\UAS.P\T.cBa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act; increased survival is seen on exposure to 1mM or 2mM Cu2+ or on exposure to 100μM or 200μM Cd2+ compared to MTF-1140-1R homozygotes.

Comments

Overexpression of MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa in the gut under the control of Scer\GAL4NP2020 moderately increases resistance to iron and cadmium toxicity in an MTF-1140-1R mutant background. MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa overexpression can not fully rescue the low survival rate of MTF-1140-1R mutants.

Overexpression of MTF-1Scer\UAS.cEa in hemocytes under the control of Scer\GAL4clu-NP6219 fully rescues the cadmium-sensitive phenotype of MTF-1140-1R mutant flies but increases sensitivity to zinc toxicity.
