Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Third instar larvae heterozygous for Mad8-2 show no significant differences in the number or size of neuromuscular junction boutons compared to wild-type controls.

Class III allele. Eye disc size is intermediate between very small and wild type. Larval survival rate of homozygotes is 68% of heterozygotes with wild type.

Reference

The increased bouton and satellite bouton number characteristic for third instar larvae expressing two copies of Nlg4Scer\UAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL4RapGAP1-OK6 is suppressed by combination with a single copy of Mad8-2.

Although none of the larvae heterozygous for either Nlg4KO10 or Mad8-2 display any significant difference in the number or size of boutons on neuromuscular junctions compared to controls, Mad8-2/+;Nlg4KO10/+ double heterozygotes show reduced bouton number and increased bouton size.

The glial overmigration phenotype seen in spin10403 eye discs is significantly suppressed if the animals are also heterozygous for Mad8-2.
