Statement
Reference
pAbp[+t7.8] rescues the germline clone phenotypes and the zygotic lethality of pAbp[k10109].
Homo- or hemizygous pAbp[k10109] is zygotic lethal. In pAbp[k10109] mutant germline clones oogenesis does not proceed further than stages 5-6. pAbp[k10109] mutant germline clones show a variety of phenotypes in stages 5-6. These include small oocytes, mispositioned oocytes, packaging defects producing egg chambers with supernumerary nurse cells and two oocytes, polytene nurse cells and multilayered follicle cells. Some of these phenotypes may also be due to lack of pAbp in the follicle cells.
The BicD[1]/+ mutant embryonic phenotypes are suppressed by pAbp[k10109]/+. The suppression of the BicD[1]/+ embryonic phenotypes by pAbp[k10109]/+ is partially reverted by one copy of pAbp[+t7.8].
pAbp[k10109]/pAbp[EY11561] heterozygotes exhibit abnormalities in spermatogenesis. these include absence of meiotic cytokinesis (in 5% of cases), resulting in formation of polyploid spermatids and defects in spermatid elongation (in approximately 100% of cases). Nuclei fail to elongate, keep a round shape and are dispersed along the cyst instead of grouping at the head of the cyst. Nebenkern DAPi staining (for DNA) appears to be non-uniform in these mutants, reflecting the effect of the trans-heterozygous mutants on mitochondrial DNA organization in at least 60% of cases. There appears to be no difference between the trans-heterozygous mutant and controls, showing that mutant mitochondrial membranes keep their integrity, but in the mutant, the onion-stage Nebenkern looks larger than in controls, and its morphology differs from a perfect sphere. Examination with an electron microscope reveals abnormal mitochondrial membranes at onion-stage spermatids in the trans-heterozygous mutant. These mitochondria also exhibit defective attachment to axonemes in the elongating spermatids.
pAbp[k10109]/hyd[15] trans-heterozygous double mutants exhibit spermatogenesis defects. The morphology of nuclei in the sperm head bundle are indistinguishable from the control but the nuclei are frequently scattered abnormally. Cytokinetic abnormalities are also increased in these double mutants. pAbp[k10109]/hyd[hs1] trans-heterozygous double mutants exhibit spermatogenesis defects. Approximately 30% of head bundles in the sperm contain both round- and needle-shaped nuclei. Abnormal nuclei scattering occurs at low frequency. Cytokinetic abnormalities are also increased in these double mutants.
pAbp[5-SZ-4029]/pAbp[k10109] cysts in the testis sometimes contain spermatids with nuclei and Nebenkern that are twice the size of the surrounding spermatids. Cytokinesis is also affected, resulting in spermatids with a 2:1 and 3:1 ratio of nuclei:Nebenkern (in contrast to the wild-type ratio of 1:1). 18% of pAbp[EP310]/pAbp[k10109] spermatocytes show defects in meiosis, with the most common phenotype being detachment of the meiotic spindles from astral microtubules.
The rough eye phenotype observed in Fmr1[sev.PW] flies is suppressed in a pAbp[k10109]/+ background.
Files heterozygous for pAbpk10109 show wing size reduction.
pAbpk10109 mutant larvae have significantly larger NMJs than wild type with more boutons. This effect becomes more prominent when larvae are raised at 25 or 29oC. At 18oC, pAbpk10109 mutants show increased stride-frequency and locomotor speed compared to wild type, but unaltered stride-length and crawling distance. However, at 29oC, the mutants exhibit similar locomotor parameters to wild type. There is also a greater increase in the amount of large subsynaptic eIF-4E aggregates at 29oC, compared to wild type.
Scer\GAL4elav-PG159-mediated expression of Ocun\Mlck2::Xlae\Cam2.1.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-ECFP,T:Avic\GFP-EYFP does not affect the phenotype of pAbpk10109/+ mutant larvae: these mutants still have larger evoked postsynaptic currents and significantly more boutons compared to wild type.
pAbpk10109/+ mutants have larger evoked postsynaptic currents and significantly more boutons compared to wild type. These mutants also have proportionally larger NMJs, as is typical in animals with genetically strengthened signal transmission and unaltered muscle input resistance. As the boutons of these mutants show normal levels of Ca2+ signalling, it appears that the raised levels of released presynaptic vesicles may be due to the large numbers of contributing boutons. The large NMJs, which contain a larger total number of T-bars than wild-type boutons, continue to transmit without significant derepression at stimulation frequencies that cause considerable depression of signal transmission in wild-type NMJs.
The elimination of one copy of GluRIIA in pAbpk10109/+, GluRIIAAD9/+ mutants results in an almost complete suppression of enhanced junctional signal transmission and in a corresponding suppression of junctional growth, indicating that animals with genetically restricted GluRIIA expression are incapable of developing a strengthened larval stage neuromuscular junction.
pAbpk10109/+ mutants exhibit a significant elevation in the junctional GluRIIA immunoreactivity that is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of GluRIIA-positive synapses (similar to a GluRIIAScer\UAS.cPa Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW mutant) and strengthened junctional signal transmission. Neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) of pAbpk10109/+ animals exhibit unaltered postsynaptic sensitivity compared with wild-type NMJs, but significantly larger evoked responses. Thus, the junctional quantal content is significantly larger at pAbpk10109/+ NMJs compared to wild-type and is associated with an elevated frequency of spontaneous vesicle fusion events. pAbpk10109/+ animals exhibit enlarged larval stage neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). This larger size of NMJ is evident in a significant increase in the number of synaptic boutons, which are wild-type in shape and size.
The mean amplitude of miniature postsynaptic currents (mEJCs) at the neuromuscular junction is indistinguishable from wild type in heterozygotes. Evoked postsynaptic currents (eEJCs) in heterozygotes are significantly larger than in wild-type. The number of junctional boutons per neuromuscular junction is increased compared to wild type.
