Abstract
Snyder-Robinson Syndrome (SRS) is an X-linked disorder characterized by intellectual disability, skeletal abnormalities, and immune system dysfunction. SRS is caused by mutations in the spermine synthase (SMS) gene, leading to polyamine dysregulation, and a myriad of cellular dysfunctions. This chapter presents a methodology for developing and characterizing a Drosophila model of SRS that recapitulates phenotypes of SMS deficiency. The protocol covers the generation of the Drosophila model, phenotypic characterization, data analysis methods, and troubleshooting to enhance reproducibility and rigor.
期刊介绍:
The critically acclaimed laboratory standard for almost 50 years, Methods in Enzymology is one of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry. Each volume is eagerly awaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and reviewers alike. Now with over 500 volumes the series contains much material still relevant today and is truly an essential publication for researchers in all fields of life sciences, including microbiology, biochemistry, cancer research and genetics-just to name a few. Five of the 2013 Nobel Laureates have edited or contributed to volumes of MIE.
