Syt1AD3/Syt1T41 synapses have a rate constant that is not statistically different from wild-type controls.
sytAD1/sytT41 mutants lack the on-off transients normally seen during electroretinogram recordings in the retina. There is a decrease in the overall number of synaptic vesicles at the photoreceptor synapses in sytAD1/sytT41 mutants.
sytAD1/sytT41 transheterozygotes survive until eclosion. The frequency of immature filopodial contacts on muscle fibres 6 and 7 ("collateral sprouts") in sytAD1/sytT41 embryos is similar to wild-type.
No obvious morphological defects.
Transheterozygote combinations with other syt alleles are lethal.
Isolated on basis of failure to complement Df(2L)DTD2.
Mutant phenotype cannot be rescued when homozygous but can when in trans to sytN6 by sytelav.PD.
