UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Presynaptic expression of CkIIβGD8571 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 causes synaptic retractions in just over 50% of synapses. Retraction severity ranged from small retractions affecting 1-2 distal boutons to large retractions affecting the entire nerve terminal. In contrast, knockdown in the postsynaptic muscle (under the control of Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371) does not significantly increase retraction frequency or severity.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL41407 results in loss of neuroblasts in the larval brain without any change in size of the remaining neuroblasts.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL41407 results in shorter neuroblast lineages (less daughter cells per neuroblast) in the larval brain compared to controls.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL41407 may result in mild defects in the shape of ganglion mother cells in the larval brain (depending on the insertion line used).
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL41407 may result in mild defects in the shape of neuroblasts in the larval brain (depending on the insertion line used).
Depending on the insertion line used, expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR can result in early pupal lethality or late larval lethality.
