Figure 1

Eye-specific overexpression of Vps26 or Vps35 rescues the black lesion phenotype caused by expression of LRRK2(I2020T). A) Representative stereomicroscope images of eyes overexpressing Vps26 (upper panel) and Vps35 (lower panel). B) Quantification of black lesions in flies overexpressing Vps26. Total of 314 eyes from 2-6 independent crosses/genotype (males and females) was analyzed. C) Quantification of black lesions in flies overexpressing Vps35. Total of 312 eyes from 3 independent crosses/genotype (males and females) was analyzed. All flies were reared at 29°C. Statistical analysis by One-Way ANOVA, Bonferroni’s post-test (P‹0.0001). Statistically significant difference compared to control (GMR alone) is denoted as ** for P < 0.001, or *** for P < 0.0001. Statistically significant difference compared to GMR/+;LRRK2(I2020T)/+is denoted as # for P < 0.05, or ### for P < 0.0001.
