Table 1. DSec61α function is involved in polyglutamine-mediated toxicity in Drosophila embryos.

Genotype Injected gene(s) Ratio of viable larvae, % (total N)
w1118 hs-GFP 29.0 (178)
hs-htt150Q 9.0 (187)
DSec61αEP(2)2567/DSec61αP560 hs-GFP + hs-lacZ 31.3 (213)
hs-htt150Q + hs-lacZ 25.0 (203)
hs-GFP + hs-DSec61α wt 29.8 (196)
hs-htt150Q + hs-DSec61α wt 10.1 (208)

Precellularized embryos from WT (w1118) or DSec61α mutant (DSec61αEP(2)2567/DSec61αP560) flies were injected with 100 ng/μl hs-GFP or hs-htt150Q in addition to 50 ng/μl hs-lacZ or hs-DSec61α wt and allowed to develop at 25°C. At 12 h after injection, embryos were heat-shocked at 37°C for 1 h and developed at 29°C for 12 h, and the numbers of hatched larvae were counted.
