mitochondrial crista & indirect flight muscle

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

The DA neurons of Pink15 adults exhibit aggregated or elongated mitochondria.

Pink15/+ heterozygous mutants have significantly reduced mitochondrial length and significantly increased mitochondrial number in axons of adult neurons, compared to controls.

Pink15 mutant embryos display asymmetric frontal ganglia and altered esophageal ganglia, as compared to controls.

Pink15 hemizygous male third instar larvae show nearly fully penetrant mitochondrial defects in the body wall muscles, including a rounder shape, an "onion"-like crista phenotype, a "vacuole" phenotype and decreased number of crista junctions, but no changes in mitochondria size; there are no obvious muscle degeneration signs in these larvae. In the nervous system, mitochondria cristae defects are observed in the ventral nerve cord neuropils (synapses, dendrites, and axons, but not in the cell bodies), in the segmental nerves (axons), and at the neuromuscular junctions. These larvae have impaired crawling ability.

In 3 days old Pink15 hemizygous male adults, indirect flight muscles present vacuolated and "onion"-like mitochondria, all of which convert to vacuolated mitochondria at day 5; at day 5 these indirect flight muscles show signs of degeneration.

Pink15 mutant escapers do not exhibit lipid droplet accumulation. Aconitase activity is reduced in these mutants and there is a strong correlation between decreased aconitase enzymatic activity and the number of lipid droplets per ommatidium, suggesting reactive oxygen species may play a role in lipid droplet accumulation.

Pink15 mutant flies show elevated response across a range of spatiotemporal frequencies of contrast-reversing sine-wave gratings as compared to responses from control flies.

PPL1 dopaminergic neurons in the brain have abnormally clumped mitochondria in mutant adults.

Mutants show severe defects in mitochondrial morphology in the indirect flight muscle (IFM): mitochondrial size is irregular and clumping of mitochondria are seen. Many of the mitochondria are swollen and have fragmented cristae. The mutant muscle shows cell death and vacuolisation, indicating degeneration. The mutant adults have a thoracic indentation due to this degeneration of the IFM.

Mutant spermatids show vacuolated onion-stage nebenkerns, and in subsequent stages, show only one mitochondrial derivative rather than the normal two seen in wild-type spermatids. A cross-section through mutant sperm tails shows the presence of only the major mitochondrial derivative, but not the minor mitochondrial derivative.

Indirect flight muscles of mutant flies show severe defects in mitochondrial morphology, including swollen mitochondria with broken cristae. Vacuolisation, indicative of degeneration, is seen in the indirect flight muscles.

Mutant adults have an abnormal wing posture.

Pink15 mutant males exhibit mitochondrial morphology defects in the testes. Spermatids show vacuolisation in the spherical "onion stage" nebenkern. Only one mitochondrial derivative is seen during spermatid elongation (the "leaf blade" stage), as opposed to the two usually seen in wild type. Pink15 mutant spermatids also exhibit dramatic defects in mitochondrial morphology during the post-individualisation stages.

An-age dependent decrease in the number of dopaminergic neurons is seen in Pink15 mutant flies. Fewer neurons are observed in 40 day old flies at 25[o]C. Pink15 mutant flies also show striking indirect flight muscle degeneration and severely disrupted mitochondrial morphology with broken cristae.

Indirect flight muscles of 1-2 day old mutant adults show a marked increase in TUNEL-positive nuclei compared to controls, indicating an increase in the number of apoptotic cells.

Mutant flies show a 59% reduction in resistance to paraquat and a 71% reduction in resistance to rotenone compared to controls. They are also more sensitive to dithiothreitol and to high concentrations of salt compared to wild-type flies.

Mutant males show vacuolation of Nebenkern in the testes.

The indirect flight muscles of 2 day old flies have mitochondria with fragmented cristae.

Expression of Mul1Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF suppresses the abnormal clumping of mitochondria seen in the PPL1 dopaminergic neurons of Pink15 adults.

Expression of Mul1Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PU suppresses almost all the defects seen in the indirect flight muscles of Pink15 adults and the thoracic indentation phenotype is also suppressed.

Expression of Mul1LD.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PU does not suppress the abnormal clumping of mitochondria or muscle cell death seen in the indirect flight muscles of Pink15 adults. The thoracic indentation seen in Pink15 adults is also not suppressed.

The degree of thoracic indentation seen in park25 Pink15 double mutants is the same as that seen in either single mutant. The mitochondrial morphology in the indirect flight muscles of the double mutants is similar to that seen in the single mutants.

The degree of thoracic indentation seen in Pink15 Mul1A6 is much more severe than that seen in Pink15 single mutants.

The indirect flight muscles of Pink15 Mul1A6 mutants have highly elongated and interconnected mitochondria.

Pink15/Y ; fzo1/Df(3R)P2O double mutants have nebenkern and mitochondrial derivative phenotypes similar to those of Pink15/Y single mutants.

Expression of parkScer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR partially rescues the defects in mitochondrial morphology that are seen in the indirect flight muscles of Pink15 mutants.

Expression of either MarfmiRNA.CDS.Scer\UAS or MarfmiRNA.UTR.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR suppresses the defects in mitochondrial morphology that are seen in the indirect flight muscles of Pink15 mutants. The defects in wing posture and indirect flight muscle degeneration phenotypes are also suppressed.

Expression of Drp1Scer\UAS.cDa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR suppresses the defects in mitochondrial morphology that are seen in the indirect flight muscles of Pink15 mutants. The defects in wing posture and indirect flight muscle degeneration phenotypes are also suppressed.

Expression of opa1-likemiRNA.CDS.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR suppresses the defects in mitochondrial morphology that are seen in the indirect flight muscles of Pink15 mutants.

Homozygous Pink15 fails to suppress the rough eye phenotype seen when HtrA2Scer\UAS.cYa is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF at 29[o]C.

Expression of HtrA2βTub85D.PY fails to suppress the mitochondrial morphology defects seen in Pink15 mutant spermatids. The spherical "onion stage" nebenkern contain vacuoles, and only one mitochondrial derivative is seen in "leaf blade stage" elongating spermatids. As in Pink15 mutants alone the flies are sterile.

A HtrA2NSO/Df(3R)ED5644 mutant background does not enhance the mitochondrial morphology defects seen in Pink15 mutant spermatids.

Expression of HtrA2dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cYa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR does not enhance the mitochondrial morphology defects seen in Pink15 mutant indirect flight muscles.

The indirect flight muscles of 2 day old Pink15 adults that are also expressing parkScer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B have some mitochondria with normal densely packed cristae and some with fragmented cristae, in contrast to 2 day old Pink15 single mutants, where the mitochondria of the indirect flight muscles have fragmented cristae.
