Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Unlike wild-type type II neuroblast clones, which contain only one Dpn+ Ase- neuroblast, Vps351 mutant clones contain multiple ectopic Dpn+ Ase- Pros- neuroblast-like cells several cell diameters away from the primary neuroblast, which are of intermediate cell sizes between neural progenitors and primary neuroblasts.

Vps351/Vps35MH20 transheterozygotes are lethal at the prepupal stages. Their third instar larval neuromuscular junction exhibit a significant decrease in the size of synaptic boutons and reciprocal increase in the number of type Ib boutons (despite of insignificant changes in the number of active zones per bouton), a significant decrease in the synaptic pool, associated with the reciprocal significant decrease in number and increase in size of synaptic vesicles at active zones, a significant decrease in endocytosis, associated with a significant increase in the number of endocytic intermediates per active zone, and subtle ultrastructural defects at the subsynaptic reticulum, as compared to controls; these neuromuscular junctions also exhibit neurotransmission defects, namely a significant increase in miniature excitatory junction potential amplitude, a significant decrease in quantal content under low stimulation conditions, despite of insignificant changes in both excitatory junction potential amplitude and in paired-pulse ratio, and a significant decrease in excitatory junction potential amplitude under high stimulation conditions, as compared to controls.

Vps351 heterozygous adults exhibit a significant decrease in sleep bouts, as compared to controls.

Average dorsal trunk tube length is increased in stage 16 homozygous embryos compared to wild type.

The prepupal lethality of Vps351/Vps35MH20 transheterozygotes is not rescued by Lrrke03680 homozygosity.

In the third instar larval neuromuscular junctions of Vps351/Vps35MH20 transheterozygotes, their reciprocal increased size and decreased number of synaptic vesicles observed are suppressed either by Lrrke03680 heterozygosity or by the expression of Rab5Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP, Rab11Scer\UAS.ORF.T:Ivir\HA1 or Lrrk[Scer\UAS.cIa] under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32; their increased number of type Ib boutons and reciprocal decreased bouton size are also suppressed by the expression of either Rab5Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP or Rab11Scer\UAS.ORF.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32.

In Vps351 heterozygous adults, their decreased sleep bouts are suppressed by the expression of Rab5Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP, Rab11Scer\UAS.ORF.T:Ivir\HA1 or LrrkScer\UAS.cIa under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF or by Lrrke03680 heterozygosity; Lrrke03680 heterozygosity even leads to a significant increase in sleep bouts, as compared to controls.

The elongated dorsal trunk phenotype of Vps351 Rab956/Vps351 Rab9199 double mutants is the same as that seen in either single mutant.

Comments

The prepupal lethality of Vps351/Vps35MH20 transheterozygotes is rescued by the Scer\GAL4da.G32-driven expression of Vps35Scer\UAS.cIa, but not of Vps35D647N.Scer\UAS.

In the third instar larval neuromuscular junction of Vps351/Vps35MH20 transheterozygotes, the decreased size of synaptic boutons is rescued by the expression of either Vps35Scer\UAS.cIa or Vps35D647N.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32; the decreased pool of synaptic vesicles, the associated reciprocal increased number and decreased size of synaptic boutons, the decreased endocytosis and the subtle ultrastructural defects of the subsynaptic reticulum are rescued by the expression of Vps35Scer\UAS.cIa, but not Vps35D647N.Scer\UAS, under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32; the increased miniature excitatory junction potential amplitude and the decreased excitatory junction potential amplitude under high stimulation conditions are rescued by the expression of Vps35Scer\UAS.cIa, but not Vps35D647N.Scer\UAS, under the control of either Scer\GAL4da.G32, Scer\GAL4Toll-6-D42 or Scer\GAL4Mhc.PK.

The decreased sleep bouts displayed by Vps351 heterozygous adults are rescued by the expression of either Vps35Scer\UAS.cIa or Vps35D647N.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF; the rescue by Vps35D647N.Scer\UAS even leads to a significant increase in sleep bouts, as compared to wild-type controls.
