Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

T-bars at the neuromuscular junction in third instar Elp3Δ3/Elp3Δ4 larvae have large protrusions that extend into the cytoplasm. The T-bar platforms of the mutant larvae are increased in size compared to wild type, and the number of synaptic vesicles in direct contact with the T-bar is increased.

The average excitatory junctional current (EJC) amplitude at the neuromuscular junction is increased compared to wild type in Elp3Δ3/Elp3Δ4 third instar larvae. The amplitude of the spontaneous mEJC is also increased in the mutant larvae, while mEJC frequency is not significantly different from wild type.

Expression of Hsap\ELP3Scer\UAS.cMa under the control of Scer\GAL4C57, but not under the control of Scer\GAL4n-syb.PS, rescues the increased spontaneous excitatory junctional current amplitude which is seen at the neuromuscular junction in Elp3Δ3/Elp3Δ4 third instar larvae.
