Abstract excerpt
In an earlier report two P-transposon insertion alleles of the noncoding hsromega gene, hsromega(05241) and P292 were shown to enhance neurodegeneration caused by expression of ataxin-1 protein with expanded poly-Q in a Drosophila model. In present study, we examined the possible relation between hsromega gene expression and toxicity due to poly-Q pathogenesis. The Drosophila hsromega gene produces several...
