GLIAL EXPRESSION OF SWISS CHEESE (SWS), THE DROSOPHILA ORTHOLOGUE OF NEUROPATHY TARGET ESTERASE (NTE), IS REQUIRED FOR NEURONAL ENSHEATHMENT AND FUNCTION

Mutations in Drosophila Swiss cheese (SWS) or its vertebrate orthologue neuropathy target esterase (NTE), respectively, cause progressive neuronal degeneration in Drosophila and mice and a complex syndrome in humans that includes mental retardation, spastic paraplegia and blindness.SWS and NTE are widely expressed in neurons but can also be found i
