Mutation in the splice donor site of exon 4.
An unspecified mutation reported to be in the splice donor site of the fourth exon of Med. The splice site mutation has been mapped by a FlyBase curator to the first base of the splice donor site of the fourth exon of Med-RA. Until FB2021-03, the mutation was mapped to the donor site of the fourth exon of Med-RB, which lacks one exon relative to Med-RA. The update was based on the reported size of the Med full length protein in the paper (745aa), which matches Med-PA assuming the use of a downstream initiator MET.
Mutants show a dramatic reduction in the number of neuromuscular junction synaptic boutons.
