Expression of witA12/witHA3 suppresses the larval neuromuscular junction overgrowth and bouton number phenotypes seen when Rac1Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC is expressed in motor neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4BG380, instead producing a reduction in bouton number similar to the phenotype seen in witA12/witHA3 third instar larvae.

Expression of witA12/witHA3 fails to suppress the larval neuromuscular junction overgrowth and bouton number phenotypes seen when Rac1V12.Scer\UAS is expressed in motor neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4BG380.

witA12/witHA3 suppresses the increase in evoked excitatory junctional potential (EJPs) and quantal content seen when Rac1Scer\UAS.cLa is expressed in motor neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4BG380, with third instar larvae instead displaying the reduction in neurotransmitter release phenotype seen in witA12/witHA3 mutants.

Expression of trioScer\UAS.cBa in motor neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4BG380 partially suppresses the reduced bouton number phenotype seen in witA12/witHA3 larval neuromuscular junctions.

The number of synaptic boutons/muscle surface area at muscle 6/7 in MedC246/witHA3 double heterozygotes is 91.3 +/- 2.7 % of wild type. The number of synaptic boutons/muscle surface area at muscle 6/7 in Mad1/witHA3 double heterozygotes is 95.9 +/- 2.2 % of wild type. The number of synaptic boutons/muscle surface area at muscle 6/7 in sax4/witHA3 double heterozygotes is 85.2 +/- 3.6 % of wild type. The number of synaptic boutons/muscle surface area at muscle 6/7 in tkv8/witHA3 double heterozygotes is 88.8 +/- 2.4 % of wild type. Co-expression of tkv::witwit-EC.tkv-IC.Ubi-p63E and tkv::wittkv-EC.wit-IC.Ubi-p63E rescues the neuromuscular junction size in witHA3/witB11 animals.
