Df(3R)Hsc70-4Δ11 has a breakpoint within the first intron of the Hsc70-4 gene. Deletion spans -813 to +853.
Imprecise excision of the EP(3)0859 P-element, deleting 1666 nucleotides, including the promoter and first exon of Hsc70-4. Position of mutation on reference sequence inferred by FlyBase curator.
Homozygous larvae show sporadic but reduced muscle contractions. The quantal content of evoked release in homozygotes and Hsc70-4Δ19/Hsc70-4Δ11 transheterozygotes is reduced to a third to a half of control. The EJP amplitudes recorded from mutant neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) are reduced to about 3/4 of control amplitudes.
Hsc70-4Δ11 has axon | larval stage phenotype, enhanceable by CspX1
Hsc70-4Δ11 is an enhancer of axon | larval stage phenotype of CspX1
The EJP amplitudes recorded from Hsc70-4Δ11, CspX1 double mutant neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) are reduced to about 1/2 of control amplitudes.
