Genetic Interactions

Statement

Reference

stnA¹ stnB¹/Y ("stn^8P1") males do not survive to adulthood. stnA¹ stnB¹ third instar larvae show a reduced mean excitatory junction potential (EJP) amplitude at the neuromuscular junction compared to wild-type larvae. stnA¹ stnB¹ ("stn^8P1") larvae show dramatic alterations in presynaptic architecture at the neuromuscular junction; small bud-like "satellite" boutons are seen proliferating from normal boutons on the presynaptic motor terminals. The lethality of stnA¹ stnB¹/Y ("stn^8P1") animals is not rescued by expression of syt^Scer\UAS.cLa under the control of either Scer\GAL4^elav-C155 or Scer\GAL4^shi.PS.

(Estes et al., 2003)

Adult stnA¹ stnB¹ males survive at a frequency of approximately 1% relative to their control siblings. mejp frequency at the stnA¹ stnB¹ larval neuromuscular junction is nearly identical to that of controls. EJPs evoked by stimulation of the motor nerve are reduced to approximately 10% of wild type. This decreased EJP amplitude derives from a severe reduction in quantal content (4.7 +/- 0.7 compared to the wild-type 133.9 +/- 16.1). Average mejp amplitude and distribution of mejp amplitudes are not increased. The boutons of the stnA¹ stnB¹ larval neuromuscular junction show a 2.6-fold decrease in synaptic vesicle density compared to controls. The vesicles are on average 44.8 +/- 1.1 nm in diameter (compared to 34.4 +/- 0.6 nm for controls), corresponding to an approximately 2-fold increase in mean vesicle volume and in vesicle size variability.

Comments

Expression of the dicistronic P{UAS-stnAB.E} construct (which expresses stnA^AB.Scer\UAS and stnB^AB.Scer\UAS) under the control of either Scer\GAL4^elav-C155 or Scer\GAL4^shi.PS rescues the lethality of stnA¹ stnB¹/Y ("stn^8P1") animals. Expression of the dicistronic P{UAS-stnAB.E} construct (which expresses stnA^AB.Scer\UAS and stnB^AB.Scer\UAS) under the control of Scer\GAL4^elav-C155 rescues the mean excitatory junction potential (EJP) amplitude at the neuromuscular junction to wild-type in stnA¹ stnB¹ ("stn^8P1") larvae. Expression of stnB^Scer\UAS.cEa under the control of either Scer\GAL4^elav-C155 or Scer\GAL4^shi.PS rescues the lethality of stnA¹ stnB¹/Y ("stn^8P1") animals. Expression of stnB^Scer\UAS.cEa under the control of Scer\GAL4^elav-C155 rescues the mean excitatory junction potential (EJP) amplitude at the neuromuscular junction to wild-type in stnA¹ stnB¹ ("stn^8P1") larvae. Expression of stnA^Scer\UAS.cEa under the control of Scer\GAL4^elav-C155 does not rescue the lethality of stnA¹ stnB¹/Y ("stn^8P1") animals. The extra "satellite" bouton phenotype seen at the neuromuscular junction of stnA¹ stnB¹ ("stn^8P1") larvae is rescued by expression of stnB^Scer\UAS.cEa under the control of Scer\GAL4^elav-C155. The extra "satellite" bouton phenotype seen at the neuromuscular junction of stnA¹ stnB¹ ("stn^8P1") larvae is rescued by expression of the dicistronic P{UAS-stnAB.E} construct (which expresses stnA^AB.Scer\UAS and stnB^AB.Scer\UAS) under the control of Scer\GAL4^elav-C155.

Comments

The "stn^8P1" mutation affects both stnA and stnB protein levels; no stnA or stnB protein is detectable at the larval neuromuscular junction.
