Overexpression of Dscam1Scer\UAS.11.31.25.2 under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.PG induces exuberant presynaptic overgrowth.
Larvae expressing Dscam11.31.25.2.Scer\UAS in both the class I vpda neuron and the class III v'pda neuron under the control of Scer\GAL4109(2)80 show very few overlaps between the two neurons (in contrast to wild type), with the two arbors segregating into nonoverlapping territories.
Expression of Dscam11.31.25.2.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 in large mushroom body clones in a wild-type background results in defects in the mushroom body, including disorganised lobes and ectopic projections of axons outside the mushroom body neuropil into adjacent brain regions.
Expression of Dscam11.31.25.2.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4OK107 results in defects in the mushroom body of third instar larvae; multiple core fibers are seen in the peduncle (in contrast to wild type).
Scer\GAL4elav-C155/Dscam1UAS.11.31.25.2 partially rescues Dscam1unspecified
The branch segregation defects seen in homozygous Dscamunspecified clones in the mushroom body are significantly rescued by expression of Dscam11.31.25.2.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155; 79 +/- 10% of the clones have wild-type morphology.
