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.
Mad8-2/Mad[+] is a suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy | third instar larval stage phenotype of Nlg4UAS.cZa, Scer\GAL4elav.PU
Mad8-2/Mad[+] is a suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype of spin10403
Mad8-2/Mad[+] is a suppressor of visible phenotype of Scer\GAL4Tub.PU, cswN308D.UASp
Mad8-2/Mad[+], Nlg4KO10 has abnormal neuroanatomy | third instar larval stage phenotype
Mad8-2/Mad[+] is a suppressor of NMJ bouton | increased number | third instar larval stage phenotype of Nlg4UAS.cZa, Scer\GAL4RapGAP1-OK6
Mad8-2/Mad[+] is a suppressor of glial cell phenotype of spin10403
Mad8-2/Mad[+] is a suppressor of wing vein | ectopic phenotype of Scer\GAL4Tub.PU, cswN308D.UASp
Mad8-2/Mad[+], Nlg4KO10 has NMJ bouton | third instar larval stage phenotype
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.
