Transgenic Construct

Transgenic construct: sequence type
Full-length cDNA for Atn1 and DNA fragment for GFP-LC3
Transgenic construct: details
Full-length cDNA of atrophin-1 encoding 65Q constructs were ligated into the mouse prion protein promoter vector ensuring expression in neurons throughout the brain; A 1.8-kbp DNA fragment containing the rat LC3 cDNA fused to EGFP at the N-terminus (GFP-LC3)

Phenotype

Hallmark features
Stalled canonical autophagy shown by accumulation of p62, downregulation of LC3-I/II conversion and reduced Tfeb expression
