Expression of one copy of Hsap\YARS153-156delVKQV.Scer\UAS under the control of either Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU or Scer\GAL4tub.PU results in normal adult offspring. Expression of two copies of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU results in partial lethality.
Pan-neuronal expression of Hsap\YARS153-156delVKQV.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU has no effect on motor performance in negative gravitaxis assays.
No obvious degeneration is observed when Hsap\YARS153-156delVKQV.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4nSyb.PS.
No jumping defects are seen when Hsap\YARS153-156delVKQV.Scer\UAS is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU. Some flying defects are observed.
Flies expressing one copy of Hsap\YARS153-156delVKQV.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU show normal behaviour in a negative geotaxis climbing assay. However, flies expressing two copies of Hsap\YARS153-156delVKQV.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU show a severely impaired performance in a negative geotaxis climbing assay compared to controls.
Aged flies expressing Hsap\YARS153-156delVKQV.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU show impairment in flight ability; 12% fail to fly.
Flies expressing two copies of Hsap\YARS153-156delVKQV.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4nSyb.PS show an impaired performance in a negative geotaxis climbing assay compared to controls.
Flies expressing two copies of Hsap\YARS153-156delVKQV.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4OK307 show electrophysiological defects in the giant fiber system. Some flies have normal response latencies but defects in following high frequency stimulation, whereas some flies are more severely affected and have an increased response latency. The severity and frequency of the mutant phenotype increases with age. Flies which show electrophysiological defects have morphological defects in the giant fiber synaptic terminal, which is abnormally thin or has constrictions.
38% of flies expressing Hsap\YARS153-156delVKQV.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4c17 show electrophysiological defects in the giant fiber system.
Flies expressing Hsap\YARS153-156delVKQV.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4shakB.lethal.4.1 do not show electrophysiological defects in the giant fiber system.
Hsap\YARS1153-156delVKQV.UAS, Scer\GAL4sca.PU is a suppressor of scutellar bristle phenotype of Scer\GAL4sca.PU, TyrRSNIG.4561R
The bristle defects caused by expression of Aats-tyrNIG.4561R under the control of Scer\GAL4sca.PU are not rescued by co-expression of Hsap\YARS153-156delVKQV.Scer\UAS.
