Expression of Mad[hs.PK] using heat shock partially rescues the lethality of Mad[k00237] mutants, with the rescue efficiency being increased with more frequent heat shocks. Expression of Mad[T312V.hs] using heat shock partially rescues the lethality of Mad[k00237] mutants, with the rescue efficiency being increased with more frequent heat shocks. The degree of rescue with Mad[T312V.hs] is more effective than that seen with Mad[hs.PK] under the same conditions.
Mad[1]/Mad[k00237] third instar larvae show a reduced number of boutons per muscle surface area in muscle 4 compared to controls. Homozygous Mad[k00237] third instar larvae show a reduced number of boutons per muscle surface area in muscle 4 compared to controls.
Expression of Mad[1]/Mad[k00237] suppresses the larval neuromuscular junction overgrowth and bouton number phenotypes seen when Rac1[Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC] is expressed in motor neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4[BG380], instead producing a reduction in bouton number similar to the phenotype seen in Mad[1]/Mad[k00237] third instar larvae. Expression of Mad[1]/Mad[k00237] fails to suppress the larval neuromuscular junction overgrowth and bouton number phenotypes seen when Rac1[V12.Scer\UAS] is expressed in motor neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4[BG380]. trio[S137203] does not enhance the reduction in bouton number phenotype seen in Mad[k00237] larval neuromuscular junctions. Expression of trio[Scer\UAS.cBa] in motor neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4[BG380] partially suppresses the reduced bouton number phenotype seen in Mad[1]/Mad[k00237] larval neuromuscular junctions.
Neuronal expression of Mad[Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC] under the control of Scer\GAL4[unspecified] rescues the reduction in the number of boutons per muscle surface area that is seen at the neuromuscular junction in Mad[k00237] third instar larvae. Neuronal expression of Mad[S25A.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC] under the control of Scer\GAL4[unspecified] partially rescues the reduction in the number of boutons per muscle surface area that is seen at the neuromuscular junction in Mad[k00237] third instar larvae. Expression of either Mad[Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC] or Mad[S25A.Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC] under the control of Scer\GAL4[BG380] rescues the electrophysiological defects seen at the neuromuscular junction of Mad[k00237] third instar larvae.
The number of boutons per muscle surface area is reduced at the neuromuscular junction in Mad[k00237] third instar larvae. Homozygous third instar larvae show a severe reduction in excitatory junctional current amplitude and in quantal content at the neuromuscular junction compared to wild type.
Mad[k00237]/+ ; nmo[P1]/+ and Mad[k00237]/+ ; Df(3L)Exel6279/+ double heterozygous third instar larvae show a significant reduction in the number of boutons per muscle surface area at the neuromuscular junction, in contrast to any of the single heterozygotes.
Heterozygotes show a direct effect on the shape of the wing.
Removal of Mad function before 72 hours after egg laying in Madapg/Madk00237 flies produces truncations of the proximal-distal axis in the legs, whereas removal of Mad function from 84 hours after egg laying until the end of development results in a normal proximal-distal organisation in the leg despite dorsal patterning defects.
Madk00237/Madapg larvae transferred to 29oC at the equivalent of 48 hours, 72 hours, 84 hours or 96 hours after egg laying develop at the same rate as wild-type siblings.
