Analogous mutation in human PINK1 implicated in Parkinson disease 6; mutation carried on in vitro construct; site of nucleotide substitution in fly gene and specific disease association inferred by FlyBase curator.
eye, with Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
The expression of Pink1G426D.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU in clones within mosaic midguts during pupariation results in no significant changes in the relative mitochondrial content of enterocytes, as compared to non-clone enterocytes.
Flies expressing Pink1G426D.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF exhibit a rough eye phenotype and disarrayed ommatidia.
Pink1G426D.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF has visible | adult stage phenotype, non-enhanceable by parkUAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
Pink1G426D.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF has visible | adult stage phenotype, non-suppressible by parkUAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
Pink1G426D.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF has eye phenotype, non-enhanceable by parkUAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
Pink1G426D.UAS.Tag:HA, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF has eye phenotype, non-suppressible by parkUAS.Tag:MYC, Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
Expression of parkScer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC has no effect on the rough eye phenotype seen when Pink1G426D.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF.
Pink1G426D.UAS.Tag:HA/Scer\GAL4hs.PB partially rescues Pink1B9
Expressing Pink1G426D.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PB rescues the crushed thorax and downturned wing phenotypes seen in Pink1B9 mutant flies at three days post-eclosion. The mitochondrial defects, reduction in ATP levels and flightlessness are also suppressed. However expression of Pink1G426D.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 fails to rescue the phenotypes seen in 45 day old Pink1B9 mutant flies; as in Pink1B9 alone, the flies have downturned wings, the thoracic muscles contain abnormally swollen mitochondria between sparse muscle fibres, ATP levels are reduced and the flies are unable to fly. The loss of dopaminergic neurons seen in Pink1B9 is also still present.
