Dataset

A set of transgenic insertion stocks derived by TE mobilization using the P-element construct P{EP}. The P{EP} construct construct carries a w[+mC] mini-white visible marker, Scer\UAS binding sites for the Scer\GAL4 transcriptional regulator, and bacterial sequences that allow plasmid rescue. The GAL4-UAS system allows regulated expression of genes proximate to the site of the insertion: genes properly oriented with respect to the Scer\UAS sequences can be conditionally expressed via transgene-derived Scer\GAL4 activity.
Insertion lines from this collection were mapped and assessed for inclusion in the Gene Disruption Project collection; flanking sequence data were submitted to GenBank.

Co-expression of futsch[EP1419] pre-synaptically rescues the synaptic overgrowth phenotype found upon expression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] pre-synaptically under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155]. However, synaptic defects caused by post-synaptic expression of Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] are not suppressed when futsch[EP1419] is expressed post-synaptically (under the control of Scer\GAL4[Mhc.PW]). The abnormal microtubule phenotype seen upon Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] presynaptic expression is rescued by a futsch[EP1419] expression (both under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155]). Neuronal co-expression of futsch[EP1419] with Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] rescues the mitochondrial distribution phenotype seen upon Hsap\LRRK2[Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG] expression alone.
Expression of futsch[EP1419] pre-synaptically, under the control of Scer\GAL4[elav-C155] has no significant effect on synaptic mitochondria.
When expression is driven by Scer\GAL4elav-C155 the phenotype is similar to that of Fmr1 loss of function mutants - neuromuscular junction overgrowth with increased synaptic area, branching and bouton number. Neurotransmission at the NMJ is elevated, and in the photoreceptor is depressed.
Expression of futschEP1419 and Rnor\MAP2Scer\UAS.cAa driven by Scer\GAL444 results in frequent axonal swellings and misprojection phenotypes. In 1/5 of neuromeres sensory neurons project their axons in on one of the two commissures across the central nervous system (CNS) midline and fasciculate with their contralateral counterparts, which they never do in wild-type.
When expression of futschEP1419 is driven by Scer\GAL4sim.PS, changes in the morphology of individual growth cones is seen, and minor defects in the projection of individual axons are also seen. However these early axonal phenotypes do not lead to defects in the later formation of the central nervous system (CNS) axon pattern.
When futschEP1419 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155, a slight reduction in average bouton size is seen (about 7.1μm2, compared to 9.1μm2 in wild-type).
