Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Expression of SytIVScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu in a wild-type background has no effect on excitatory junctional potential (EJP) amplitude, quantal content, miniature EJP (mEJP) frequency or mEJP amplitude at the neuromuscular junction.

Overexpression of SytIVScer\UAS.cLa in neurons, driven by Scer\GAL4elav.PLu creates larvae that when tested electrophysiologically by stimulation of the neuromuscular junction, produce peak amplitudes of the excitatory junction potential that are significantly (about 20%) lower than controls. Continued stimulation showed no further depletion over time. No decrease in muscle miniature excitatory junction potential (MEJP) amplitude or muscle resting membrane potential is seen in SytIVScer\UAS.cLa,Scer\GAL4elav.PLu larvae, however MEJP frequency is decreased by about a third.

Statement
Reference

Overexpression of SytIVScer\UAS.cLa, under the regulation of both Scer\GAL4elav-C155 and Scer\GAL4elav.PLu does not rescue the sytAD4/sytN13 phenotype. However, this overexpression does result in a 96% reduction in the expected Mendelian ratios. Overexpression of SytIVScer\UAS.cLa, under the regulation of Scer\GAL4elav-C155, in a sytAD4/sytN13 null mutant background has no effect on the synaptic transmission defects. Only slow release reflecting the asynchronous component of fusion is observed with the evoked EJP unchanged from the null mutant alone.

EJP amplitude at the neuromuscular junction is restored to near wild-type levels in sytAD4 homozygous larvae if they are also expressing SytIVScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu. The increase in frequency of mEJPs is also rescued to wild-type in these larvae.

Comments

The lack of high-frequency-stimulation-induced miniature release (HFMR) seen in Df(3R)rn16 animals is rescued by expression of SytIVScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW (postsynaptic expression) but not by expression of SytIVScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 (presynaptic expression).
