Pan-neuronal expression of Sac1GD2238 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU results in a decrease in bouton number and a concomitant increase in their size. An increased number of boutons show microtubule disorganisation compared to controls.

Expression of Sac1GD2238 in muscle under the control of Scer\GAL4C57 produces a complex phenotype affecting both the pre- and post-synaptic compartments. An aberrant synaptic morphology is seen, although the number of boutons is normal. Boutons are larger and exhibit a highly irregular shape with a number of spike-like protrusions emerging from their contours.

60% of flies expressing Sac1GD2238 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU fail to eclose, and survivors exhibit marked neurodegeneration in the eye. This degeneration is more severe in females than in males, with females exhibiting extensive degpigmentation, whereas males have the majority of the eye surface covered by patches of severe necrosis. Necrosis is observed in 100% of males, but the severity of the phenotype varies. At the ultrastructural level, males have extensive regions of fused ommatidia and missing or misoriented interommatidial bristles. Eye sections show severe disruption in retinal organisation, with thinning of the retina and loss of retinal neurons.

Adults expressing Sac1GD2238 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.

Depending on the insertion line used, expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR can result in lethality by 7 days after eclosion.

Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in lethality or semi-lethality at the pupal stage, depending on the insertion line used.

The bouton phenotypes in larvae co-expressing Sac1GD2238 and Vap-33-1GD3990 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU are no more severe than those seen in either mutant alone.
