The largest database of trusted experimental protocols

The UAS-SOD1 is a genetic construct that allows for the overexpression of the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene in Drosophila melanogaster. SOD1 is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the defense against oxidative stress. This construct can be used to study the effects of SOD1 overexpression in various biological processes and disease models.

w;+;D42-Gal4, UAS-mitoGFP (Dr. Pallanck, University of Washington) and w;sp/Cyo;D42-Gal4, UAS-ANF-GFP (Dr. Saxton, UC Santa Cruz) were used to visualize GFP signals in mitochondria and dense core vesicles (DCVs), respectively, in motor neurons. UAS-SOD1 and UAS-SOD2 from the Bloomington Stock Center were crossed with w;+;D42-Gal4, UAS-mitoGFP to generate UAS-SOD1; D42-Gal4, UAS-mitoGFP and UAS-SOD1; D42-Gal4, UAS-mitoGFP. We used these two strains to perform the rescue experiments in Figs 1, 2 and 4. To examine calcium (Ca2+) levels in motor neurons, we received fly strains UAS-GCaMP6m from the Bloomington Stock Center, and generated UAS-GCaMP6m/+; D42-Gal4/+. To activate or down-regulate the JNK pathway, we used UAS-HepB2 (Bloomington Stock Center) and UAS-Bsk RNAi (VDRC), respectively. These fly strains were also crossed with the control strain, w;+;D42-Gal4, UAS-mitoGFP, to generate UAS-HepB2; D42-Gal4, UAS-mitoGFP and UAS-Bsk RNAi; D42-Gal4, UAS-mitoGFP. All flies were maintained in normal fly food at 25°C with 40%-60% humidity and a 12 hr light/dark cycle.

The scrib allele used is scrib2 (also known as scrib673) (Bilder and Perrimon, 2000 (link)). The recombinant UAS-RasV12 FRT82B scrib2 (Chen et al., 2012 (link); Pérez et al., 2015 (link)) line was a kind gift of Madhuri Kango-Singh (U Dayton, OH, USA). The MARCM system (Lee and Luo, 1999 (link)) with ey-FLP (Newsome et al., 2000 (link)) was used to generate mosaics of eye/antennal imaginal discs and experimental clones were marked by GFP. In (Figure 1—figure supplement 1), we used a modified MARCM system that marks clones with myrRFP (Chabu and Xu, 2014 (link)). The wt control line (FRT +) is FRT82B (Xu and Rubin, 1993 (link)).
The following transgenes are all inserted on chromosome 2 and were crossed into the scrib−/−RasV12 background for analysis: UAS-lacZ (Bloomington, BL3955), UAS-Duox RNAi and UAS-hCatS (a kind gift of Won-Jae Lee) (Ha et al., 2005a (link); Ha et al., 2005b2005 (link)), UAS-Catalase (BL24621), UAS-SOD1 (BL24754), UAS-SOD2 (BL24494), UAS-p35 (BL5072), UAS-dronc RNAi and UAS-drICE RNAi (a kind gift of Pascal Meier) (Leulier et al., 2006 (link)). UAS-JNKDN (aka UAS-bskDN) (BL6409) is an insertion on X chromosome. Crosses were incubated at either 22° or 25°C.

Transgenic Fly Line Generation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Flies were maintained in standard cornmeal media at 25°C under light–dark cycles of 12:12 hours. To establish the transgenic fly line carrying the human 2N4R tau with or without mutations or deletions, cDNA was subcloned into pUASTattB, and injected to the oocytes carrying into P{CaryP}attP2. UAS-SOD1 (31 (link)) was obtained from Bloomington stock center (Stock #33605). For RU486 feeding, RU486 was mixed into the cornmeal media at the final concentration of 500 μm. Genotypes of the flies used in the experiments are described in Supplementary Material Table S1.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
