Abstract excerpt
Defects in pathways that direct cellular components to the lysosome for degradation are often linked with a decrease in viability and with progressive disorders. Previously we had shown that blue cheese (bchs: Drosophila homologue of human Alfy) mutations lead to reduced longevity and the accumulation of ubiquitinated neural aggregates. A genetic modifier screen based on overexpression of Bchs in the eye was used...
