P{EP}Vps26G2008 is inserted in the 5'UTR of Vps26.
Melanotic masses are frequently detected in Vps26G2008 mutant third instar larvae.
Over-expression of Vps26G2008 driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PU causes a mild eye phenotype with occasional presence of black lesions (in around 11% of mutant flies, compared to 3% in controls). Expression of Vps26G2008 driven by Scer\GAL4Ddc.PU does not cause significant locomotor deficits.
Vps26G2008, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is a suppressor | partially of visible phenotype of Hsap\LRRK2I2020T.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU
Vps26G2008, Scer\GAL4Ddc.PU is a suppressor of abnormal locomotor behavior | adult stage phenotype of Hsap\LRRK2I2020T.UAS, Scer\GAL4Ddc.PU
Vps26G2008, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU is a suppressor | partially of eye | adult stage phenotype of Hsap\LRRK2I2020T.UAS, Scer\GAL4GMR.PU
Co-expression of Vps26G2008 significantly suppresses eye phenotypes (presence of black lesions) and locomotor deficits in flies with expression of Hsap\LRRK2I2020T.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PU at 29[o]C.
