Drosophila dLRRK KO Models | ||||
1 | Dodson et al., 2014 | Partial loss by early stop codon [dLRRK (+/−)]. | No change in PPM1/2, PPM3, PPL1, PPL2, VUM, and PAL clusters. | Not assessed. |
2 | Lee et al., 2007; Imai et al., 2008; Wang D. et al., 2008; Tain et al., 2009 | KO of dLRRK by piggy-BAG insertion [dLRRK (−/−)]. | Loss of TH staining is decreased in DM and PM clusters at 3 and 10 days (Lee). No loss in PPM1/2, PPL1, PPM3 (Imai). No change in number or distribution (Wang). No change in PPL1 cluster (Tain). | Climbing deficits at 3 days and loss of fertility in females (Lee). Smaller abdomen and decreased fertility (Imai). No behavioral abnormality or decrease in fertility (Wang). Tendency for decreased climbing ability (Tain). |
3 | Lee et al., 2007 | KO of dLRRK by deletion of 3′ UTR region and EP element [dLRRK (−/−)]. | Not assessed. | Climbing deficits at 3 days and loss of fertility in females (data not shown). |
