eye, with Scer\GAL4GMR.PF
Expression of TBPHScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP in the eye under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF results in severe eye depigmentation and neurodegeneration at 25[o]C and 100% lethality at 29[o]C.
Expression of TBPHScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4D42 results in an increase in the number of boutons in the larval neuromuscular junction. The number of synaptic vesicles is reduced compared to wild type and supernumerary satellite boutons are present. The number of axonal branches is comparable with wild type.
Expression of TBPHScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP in motor neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4D42 results in locomotor defects in third instar larvae. Crawling larvae rolled ventral side up take longer to turn back to dorsal side up.
Expression of TBPHScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4D42 results in motor neuron apoptosis in the larval ventral ganglia.
