Liprin-αF3ex15/Liprin-α1J-0 mutant peripheral nerves have an accumulation of clear-core vesicles along the axon, compared to wild-type axons. Visualization of synaptic vesicle precursor transport along motor axons in intact third instar larva shows that the flux of cargo in the anterograde direction is significantly decreased in the mutants, while the flux is increased in the retrograde direction. However, the total flux is unchanged. There are no ectopic presynaptic specializations, breakdowns in the plasma membrane, or obvious changes in microtubule density or morphology along motor axons of Liprin-αF3ex15/Liprin-α1J-0 mutants.
Liprin-α1J-0/Liprin-αR117 larvae have fewer boutons (both type Ib and type Is) at the muscle 6/7 neuromuscular junction than wild type. The branch complexity of the terminal arbor is also decreased compared to wild type.
Liprin-α1J-0/Liprin-α1J-0 is a suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype of mr3
Liprin-α1J-0/Liprin-alpha[+] is a suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype of mr3
Liprin-α1J-0/Liprin-αR117 has bouton phenotype, non-suppressible by LarUAS.cKa/Scer\GAL4elav.PLu
Liprin-α1J-0/Liprin-α1J-0 is a suppressor of NMJ bouton | increased number phenotype of mr3
Liprin-α1J-0/Liprin-alpha[+] is a suppressor of NMJ bouton | increased number phenotype of mr3
Liprin-α1J-0/Liprin-α1J-0 is a suppressor of embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction phenotype of mr3
Liprin-α1J-0/Liprin-alpha[+] is a suppressor of embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction phenotype of mr3
Liprin-α1J-0/Liprin-αR117 is a suppressor of bouton | increased number phenotype of LarUAS.cKa, Scer\GAL4elav.PLu
The increased number of boutons per synapse seen at the neuromuscular junction of mr3 homozygous third instar larvae is strongly suppressed by Liprin-α1J-0/+ and is completely suppressed by Liprin-α1J-0/Liprin-α1J-0.
Liprin-α1J-0/Liprin-αR117 larvae expressing LarScer\UAS.cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu show a reduction in bouton number at the muscle 6/7 neuromuscular junction equivalent to that seen in Liprin-α1J-0/Liprin-αR117 single mutants.
