UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of oa2KK102153 under the control of Scer\GAL4Tdc2.PC results in a significant increase in the number of natural synaptopods (motile filopodia-like extensions) at type II neuromuscular junctions in third instar larvae compared to wild type. The number of type II boutons at the neuromuscular junction is also increased in these larvae.
The number of type I boutons at the neuromuscular junction is normal in third instar larvae expressing oa2KK102153 under the control of Scer\GAL4Tdc2.PC.
The number of type I boutons at the neuromuscular junction is increased compared to wild type in third instar larvae expressing oa2KK102153 under the control of either Scer\GAL4futsch-C380 or Scer\GAL4BG439.
