Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

The neuromuscular junctions of elav5/elavts1 mutant third instar larvae (raised at the permissive temperature during embryonic development) show a strong reduction in the number of synaptic connections compared with controls.

elav5/elavts1 adult flies do not exhibit any fusion of the mushroom body beta lobes.

elav5/elavts1 are short lived, show reduced locomotion and are ataxic.

elavts1/elav5 animals show a significant reduction in the number of type 1b boutons at the neuromuscular junction of muscle 13 when they are reared at the restrictive temperature during larval life.

elavts1 flies survive at 22oC but not at 25oC, although a low percentage of survivors are seen depending on the culture conditions.

Morphology of visual system is abnormal at 18oC and worse at 25oC.

elavts1 optic chiasma is abnormal and second order optic lobe (medulla) is rotated to aberrant position. When elavts1 raised at 30oC, surface of eye is rough and photoreceptor layer abnormal in sections. At 19oC 63% survive to adult hood, at 30oC 2% survive to adulthood. Surviving adults have poor coordination: neural defects are not restricted to the visual system.

Rbp9P2690/Df(2L)ED206 does not enhance the neuromuscular junction phenotypes seen in elav5/elavts1 mutant third instar larvae.

Expression of Rbp9elav.T:Ivir\HA1 partially rescues the viability of elavts1. Expression of Rbp9elav.T:Uuuu\nls-Unk.T:Ivir\HA1 rescues the viability to a greater extent, comparable to the rescue by elavT:Ivir\HA1.

Df(1)fneΔ does not enhance the neuromuscular junction phenotypes seen in elav5/elavts1 mutant third instar larvae.

Expression of fneelav.T:Ivir\HA1 partially rescues the viability of elavts1.

Expression of fneelav.T:Ivir\HA1 rescues the reduction in bouton number seen in elavts1/elav5 mutant larvae (raised at the permissive temperature during embryonic development).

Expression of Rbp9elav.T:Ivir\HA1 rescues the reduction in bouton number seen in elavts1/elav5 mutant larvae (raised at the permissive temperature during embryonic development).

elavts1/elav5 animals eclose as adults when they are rescued by ewgelav.NS (providing that embryogenesis occurs at the permissive temperature for the elavts1 allele). However, the rescued adults show motor defects and are flightless.

The reduction in bouton number at the neuromuscular junction which is seen in elavts1/elav5 animals reared at the restrictive temperature during larval life is rescued by ewgelav.NS.

One transgenic line of elav::SxlES1 shows slight rescue of elav5 (8% rescue).
