hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Atg2[EP3697]/Df(3L)BSC119 mutants display basal autophagy defects in larval fat body cells.
Atg2[EP3697] heterozygous neuromuscular junctions exhibit wild-type bouton levels.
Atg2[EP3697]/Df(3L)Exel6091 animals analysed at +4 hours relative to puparium formation show a significant delay in midgut histolysis compared to controls. At +12 hours relative to puparium formation, larval midgut contraction is dramatically delayed in the mutants compared to controls.
Atg2[EP3697] mutants exhibit neuromuscular junction undergrowth but do not exhibit defects in axonal transport.
Mutants show disruption of autophagy.
Mutant larvae expressing Atg2EP3697 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 have reduced or abnormal synapses. Mutant larvae expressing Atg2EP3697 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 have ISN neuron pathfinding defects.

Statement
Reference
An Atg2[EP3697] heterozygous background dominantly suppresses the increase in bouton number seen in Rae1[EX28] homozygous mutant neuromuscular junction.
The modest neuromuscular undergrowth seen upon expression of hiw[Scer\UAS.fl] under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155] is enhanced in a Atg2[EP3697] heterozygous background.
