UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
Adult flies expressing Pmm2HMS02649 under the control of Scer\GAL4Dot.PK display nephrocyte functional defects (measured by uptake assays) and reduced adult lifespan relative to controls.
Expression of Pmm2HMS02649 under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 leads to lethality in first and second instar larval stages.
Expression of Pmm2HMS02649 under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B leads to lethality in P-stage; animals mechanically freed from pupal cases do not move or survive; third instar muscle 4 neuromuscular junctions display over-elaboration, with more branches and supernumerary type Is/Ib synaptic boutons, but no significant difference in overall synaptic terminal area; neurotransmission strength is not significantly changed in a two-electrode voltage clamp recording from third instar muscle 6, as compared to controls.
Expression of Pmm2HMS02649 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU leads to reduced adult life span, adults display a highly penetrant wing posture defect and display locomotion defects in both climbing assays and a horizontal locomotion assay; third instar muscle 4 neuromuscular junctions display over-elaboration, with more branches, greater synaptic terminal area, and supernumerary type Is/Ib synaptic boutons; but neurotransmission strength is not significantly changed in a two-electrode voltage clamp recording from third instar muscle 6, as compared to controls.
Expression of Pmm2HMS02649 under the control of both Scer\GAL4how-24B and Scer\GAL4elav.PU leads to third instar muscle 4 neuromuscular junctions displaying over-elaboration, with more branches, greater synaptic terminal area, and supernumerary type Is/Ib synaptic boutons; the neuromuscular junctions of muscles 6/7 also exhibit significantly increased synaptic terminal area; neurotransmission strength is significantly increased in a two-electrode voltage clamp recording from third instar muscle 6, as compared to controls.
