Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a deletion that removes part of Elp3.
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.
Elp3Δ3/Elp3Δ4 has lethal phenotype, suppressible by Scer\GAL4Act.PU/Hsap\ELP3UAS.cMa
Elp3Δ3/Elp3Δ4 has abnormal neurophysiology | third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible by Hsap\ELP3UAS.cMa/Scer\GAL4C57
Elp3Δ3/Elp3Δ4 has abnormal neurophysiology | third instar larval stage phenotype, non-suppressible by Scer\GAL4nSyb.PS/Hsap\ELP3UAS.cMa
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.
