Active zones (brp area) are significantly smaller at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) of third instar larvae (more posterior segments, 5 and 6) with expression of Rab3Q80L.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4elav.Switch.PO (females maintained on fly food with RU486 for 2 days before mating and egg-laying on RU486 food).
Rab3Q80L.UAS/Scer\GAL4VGlut1.PD is a non-suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy | third instar larval stage phenotype of Rab3-GEFSC225
Rab3Q80L.UAS/Scer\GAL4VGlut1.PD is a non-suppressor of embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction | third instar larval stage phenotype of Rab3-GEFSC225
Expression of Rab3Q80L.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4VGlut.PD does not suppress active zone phenotypes seen at the NMJ of Rab3-GEFSC225/Df(1)ED7289, Rab3-GEFMA20/Df(1)ED7289 or Rab3-GEFMA18/Df(1)ED7289 third instar larvae.
Expression of Rab3Q80L.Scer\UAS driven by Scer\GAL4VGlut.PD rescues active zone and short-term facilitation defects at the NMJ of Rab3rup/Df(2R)ED2076 third instar larvae.
