bouton & neuromuscular junction | larval stage, with Scer\GAL4elav.PLu

microtubule & neuromuscular junction | larval stage, with Scer\GAL4elav.PLu

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

mtsdn181.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act results in an increase in neuroblast numbers compared to controls.

Larvae expressing mtsdn181.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu have aberrant bouton morphology and size, and disruption to the NMJ cytoskeleton, with an 88% increase in the levels of unbundled microtubules relative to wild-type. Boutons are observed filled with an unusually high number of splayed filaments.

Flies expressing mtsdn181.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4tim.PE are arrhythmic with respect to locomotor activity. Flies expressing mtsdn181.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf show an increase in the period of locomotor activity rhythms compared to controls. The rhythms appear to be unstable; some flies have long periods with interspersed days of prolonged activity and others show multiple periodicities.

Expression of mtsdn181.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ptc-559.1 results in a lack of wing hairs over a significant region of the anterior-posterior compartment boundary. In regions where hairs are present, they often have abnormal orientation.

Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

A PP2A-B'104 heterozygote background significantly enhances the unbundling microtubule phenotype of neuronal mtsdn181.Scer\UAS expression (under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu), leading to a 46% increase in unbundled microtubules relative to mtsdn181.Scer\UAS expression alone. In addition, the cytoskeletal morphology of these double mutants is more severely disrupted than in mtsdn181.Scer\UAS mutants. Simultaneously inhibiting mts and PP2A-B' results in synapses in which microtubules are splayed or punctate through the normally stable core region of the synaptic terminal.
