hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
The mitochondria in the neurons of adult brains expressing WASp[Scer\UAS.cBa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] are frequently elongated compared to controls.
As in wild type, flies expressing WASp[Scer\UAS.cBa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[arm.PS] in a WASp[1]/Df(3R)3450 mutant background display elongated cysts and a seminal vesicle that is full of individualised, mature sperm.
Expression of WASp[Scer\UAS.cBa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[C57] has no effect on bouton number/muscle area or the number of satellite boutons at the third larval instar neuromuscular junction.
Expression of WASp[Scer\UAS.cBa] in the mesoderm under the control of Scer\GAL4[twi.PG] does not affect muscle development.

Statement
Reference
Co-expression of both Cip4[Scer\UAS.N.T:Ivir\HA1] and WASp[Scer\UAS.cBa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[C57] results in a reduction in bouton number/muscle area and in the number of satellite boutons at the third larval instar neuromuscular junction.
hide Xenogenetic Interactions
Statement
Reference
Expression of WASp[Scer\UAS.cBa] enhances the increase in mitochondria length seen when Hsap\MAPT[R406W.Scer\UAS] is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav.PU].

Comments
Expression of WASp[Scer\UAS.cBa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[n-syb.PS] rescues the neuromuscular junction overgrowth seen in WASp[1]/Df(3R)3450 third instar larvae.
Expression of WASp[Scer\UAS.cBa] in WASp[3D3-035]/Df(3R)3450 mutants under the control of Scer\GAL4[twi.PG] restores almost the complete muscle pattern. Expression of WASp[Scer\UAS.cBa] specifically in founder cells (under the control of Scer\GAL4[kirre-rP298]) in WASp[3D3-035]/Df(3R)3450 mutants does not restore a wild-type muscle pattern. Instead muscles look thinner compared to wild-type and some muscles are even missing.
Expression of WASpScer\UAS.cBa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu partially rescues the neuromuscular junction defects of WASp1 mutants; normalised bouton number, NMJ length and branch number are significantly reduced towards wild-type levels.
