Analyzing roles of sphingolipid in neurodegenerative blue cheese mutants in drosophila

We are interested in the involvement of sphingolipids in neurodegeneration in Drosophila. To look at this, we study animals deficient in Blue cheese, a BEACH domain protein involved in autophagy and lysosomal transport, and highly expressed in the nervous system. Blue cheese mutants exhibit shortene...
