    Abstract During his remarkable career, Professor Hugo Bellen has innovated Drosophila genetics and forged a community driven toward diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases. He has advanced our understanding of nervous system development and neurodegeneration by exploring mechanisms and genetics through the latticed eyes of the common fruit fly. His lab, along with the labs of Shinya Yamamoto and Michael Wangler at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute of Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, also function as the Drosophila Core of the Model Organisms Screening Center (MOSC) of the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) and the Center for Precision Medicine Models. In this capacity, they facilitate the diagnosis of (ultra)rare human diseases and contribute to the development of treatments for these patients. Hugo is also the head of the Drosophila Gene Disruption Project supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs, and his lab channels substantial resources to the development of novel and sophisticated tools and technology that are then shared openly with the community via the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center and the Drosophila Genomics Resource Center to propel research across the globe. Hugo has received an array of awards for his contributions to science and medicine, and he continues to be one of the most prominent figures in translational model organism research. In this interview, he discusses how his career progressed towards Drosophila genetics and highlights the accomplishments and challenges faced by the model organism community.

    Abstract Here, we discuss findings made using Drosophila on Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk and progression. Recent studies have investigated the mechanisms underlying glia-mediated neuroprotection in AD. First, we discuss a novel mechanism of glial lipid droplet formation that occurs in response to elevated reactive oxygen species in neurons. The data suggest that disruptions to this process contribute to AD risk. We further discuss novel mechanistic insights into glia-mediated Aβ42-clearance made using the fly. Finally, we highlight work that provides evidence that the aberrant accumulation of reactive oxygen species in AD may not just be a consequence of disease but contribute to disease progression as well. Cumulatively, the discussed studies highlight recent, relevant discoveries in AD made using Drosophila.

    Abstract Next-generation sequencing technology has rapidly accelerated the discovery of genetic variants of interest in individuals with rare diseases. However, showing that these variants are causative of the disease in question is complex and may require functional studies. Use of non-mammalian model organisms - mainly fruitflies (Drosophila melanogaster), nematode worms (Caenorhabditis elegans) and zebrafish (Danio rerio) - enables the rapid and cost-effective assessment of the effects of gene variants, which can then be validated in mammalian model organisms such as mice and in human cells. By probing mechanisms of gene action and identifying interacting genes and proteins in vivo, recent studies in these non-mammalian model organisms have facilitated the diagnosis of numerous genetic diseases and have enabled the screening and identification of therapeutic options for patients. Studies in non-mammalian model organisms have also shown that the biological processes underlying rare diseases can provide insight into more common mechanisms of disease and the biological functions of genes. Here, we discuss the opportunities afforded by non-mammalian model organisms, focusing on flies, worms and fish, and provide examples of their use in the diagnosis of rare genetic diseases.

    Abstract Neurodegenerative Diseases (NDDs) are a group of disorders that cause progressive deficits of neuronal function. Recent evidence argues that sphingolipid metabolism is affected in a surprisingly broad set of NDDs. These include some lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs), hereditary sensory and autonomous neuropathy (HSAN), hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD), Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), as well as some forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Many of these diseases have been modeled in

    Abstract Next-generation sequencing has greatly accelerated the discovery of rare human genetic diseases. Nearly 45% of patients have variants associated with known diseases but the unsolved cases remain a conundrum. Moreover, causative mutations can be difficult to pinpoint because variants frequently map to genes with no previous disease associations and, often, only one or a few patients with variants in the same gene are identified.

    Abstract Wnt signaling plays an essential role in developmental and regenerative myelination in the CNS. The Wnt signaling pathway is comprised of multiple regulatory layers; thus, how these processes are coordinated to orchestrate oligodendrocyte development remains unclear. Here we show CK2α, a Wnt/β-catenin signaling Ser/Thr kinase, phosphorylates Daam2, inhibiting its function and Wnt-activity during oligodendrocyte development. Intriguingly, we found Daam2 phosphorylation differentially impacts distinct stages of oligodendrocyte development, accelerating early differentiation followed by decelerating maturation and myelination. Application towards white matter injury revealed CK2α-mediated Daam2 phosphorylation plays a protective role for developmental and behavioral recovery after neonatal hypoxia, while promoting myelin repair following adult demyelination. Together, our findings identify a novel regulatory node in the Wnt pathway that regulates oligodendrocyte development via protein phosphorylation-induced signaling complex instability and highlights a new biological mechanism for myelin restoration.
    Significance: Wnt signaling plays a vital role in OL development and has been implicated as an adverse event for myelin repair after white matter injury. Emerging studies have shed light on multi-modal roles of Wnt effectors in the OL lineage, but the underlying molecular mechanisms and modifiable targets in OL remyelination remain unclear. Using genetic mouse development and injury model systems, we delineate a novel stage-specific function of Daam2 in Wnt signaling and OL development via a S704/T7-5 phosphorylation mechanism, and determine a new role of the kinase CK2α in contributing to OL development. In-depth understanding of CK2α-Daam2 pathway regulation will allow us to precisely modulate its activity in conjunction with Wnt signaling and harness its biology for white matter pathology.
