K304term
Site of nucleotide substitution in mutant inferred by FlyBase based on reported amino acid change.
Homozygous, captK304/captE636 and captK304/Df(2L)ast5 larvae have punctate-like accumulations expressing Act5CScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP in the dendrites of the sensory neuron dorsal cluster (these actin accumulations are absent in the dendrites of wild-type larvae).
The dynamics of the Act5CScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP puncta phenotype in dendrites of captK304 larvae is dynamic, with accumulations dissipating within dendrites, while simultaneously new accumulations can form within a different part of the same dendrite.
Homozygotes have significantly fewer mitochondria in the dendrites than controls. The distribution of mitochondria within the cell bodies and in the axons are comparable to those of controls.
Homozygotes show defects in larval dendrite development; mutants have unusual actin patches (assayed using Act5CScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP expression) in the dendrites and occasionally have neuritic outgrowths containing actin.
captK304 has abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype, enhanceable by Khck13314
punc[+]/captK304 is an enhancer of abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype of Khck13314
captK304/captK304 is an enhancer of abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype of Scer\GAL4109(2)80, tsrUAS.cNa
Khck13314, punc[+]/captK304 has abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype
captK304/captK304 is an enhancer of dendrite phenotype of Scer\GAL4109(2)80, tsrUAS.cNa
Longer rod-like structures of Act5CScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP accumulation are formed in the dendrites of animals expressing tsrScer\UAS.cNa under the control of Scer\GAL4109(2)80 when the animals are also homozygous for captK304.
captK304 Khck13314 double homozygotes show a higher frequency of Act5CScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP puncta in the dendrites and dendritic swellings than seen in either the captK304 or Khck13314 single homozygotes respectively. In addition, the double homozygotes show formation of elongate actin rods (expressing Act5CScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP), a phenotype that is not seen in either single homozygote.
