hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Gl[G38S]/Gl[Δ22] larvae show normal locomotion. Gl[G38S]/Gl[Δ22] third instar larvae have a normal number of synaptic boutons per neuromuscular junction (NMJ) in proximal abdominal segments (A2 and A3) but show a small but significant increase in the number of synaptic boutons per NMJ in distal segments (A5 and A6). The terminal boutons (the distal-most synaptic boutons) are swollen at the mutant NMJ and show an approximately 2-fold increase in bouton volume in distal segments. Gl[G38S]/Gl[Δ22] larvae show a significant reduction in the amplitude of the evoked junctional potential (EJP) at the NMJ compared to controls.
GlΔ22/Gll1 and homozygous neuroblasts show centrosome and spindle formation defects. Defects include metaphase neuroblasts with curved spindles, unfocused spindle poles, spindles with one or two unattached centrosomes, spindles in which both centrosomes are attached to the same half-spindle, or occasionally neuroblasts with three or four centrosomes forming bipolar or multipolar spindles. The mitotic index and metaphase:anaphase ratio are increased in homozygous neuroblasts compared to wild type.

Comments
Expression of Gl[Scer\UAS.cLa] under the control of Scer\GAL4[T80] rescues the lethality of Gl[l1]/Gl[Δ22] animals, although the rescued animals are sterile. Expression of Gl[CH322-82J07] fully rescues Gl[l1]/Gl[Δ22] animals (the rescued animals are viable and fertile).
