Figure 6. Pathogenic Ataxin-1[82Q], but Not Unexpanded Ataxin-1, Induces Nuclear Accumulation of dAtx2 In Vivo .

Figure 6

(A–D) Anti-dAtx2 immunofluorescence (red) in ventral ganglion neurons expressing different Ataxin-1 transgenes and CD8-GFP (green) with the ok107-GAL4 driver. Nuclear Lamin (white) is also shown. (A) Control neurons show no nuclear dAtx2. (B) Neurons expressing Ataxin-1 with only 2Q (SCA12Q) present no nuclear dAtx2. (C) Neurons expressing wild type human Ataxin-1 with 30Q (SCA130Q) fail to show nuclear dAtx2 as well. (D) Neurons expressing expanded Ataxin-1[82Q] (SCA182Q) present nuclear dAtx2.

Genotypes: (A) UAS-CD8:GFP/+; +; ok107-GAL4/+. (B) UAS-CD8:GFP/+; UAS-SCA12Q [F14]/+; ok107-GAL4/+ (C) UAS-SCA130Q [F1]/yw; UAS-CD8:GFP/+; ok107-GAL4/+. (D) UAS-CD8:GFP/+; UAS-SCA182Q [M6]/+; ok107-GAL4/+.
