Six nucleotide changes relative to the U37541 reference mitochondrion sequence. Three of the changes are synonymous, two are in an intron but are not in splicing or branch consensus sequences. The final change is a G to A substitution 847 bases from the translation start site, which results in the G199D amino acid replacement.
ND-2360114/ND-23G14097 transheterozygotes show a progressive decrease in adult climbing capacity, a progressive bang-sensitive paralysis and enlarged mitochondria in their PPM2 neurons, as compared to controls; ND-2360114 homozygous and ND-2360114/ND-23G14097 transheterozygous adults also show significant signs of neurodegeneration (i.e brain vacuolization), as compared to either heterozygous controls. Transheterozygous progeny from ND-2360114/+ mothers and ND-23G14097/+ fathers show more severe defects in lifespan, climbing activity and neurodegeneration than progeny from the reciprocal cross between ND-2360114/+ fathers and ND-23G14097/+ mothers, which suggests a maternal effect and which seems to be due to differences in the mitochondrial DNA of the ND-2360114 stock.
Similarly, ND-2360114/Df(3R)Exel8162 transheterozygotes also show a progressive decrease in adult climbing capacity, bang-sensitive paralysis, temperature-sensitive paralysis and significant signs of neurodegeneration (i.e brain vacuolization), as compared to Df(3R)Exel8162 heterozygous controls. Transheterozygous progeny from ND-2360114/+ mothers and Df(3R)Exel8162/+ fathers show more severe defects in lifespan and climbing activity than progeny from the reciprocal cross between ND-2360114/+ fathers and Df(3R)Exel8162/+ mothers.
