UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The number of natural synaptopods (motile filopodia-like extensions) at type II neuromuscular junctions is significantly increased compared to wild type in third instar larvae expressing G-oα47AKK109018 under the control of Scer\GAL4Tdc2.PC. 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 G-oα47AKK109018 under the control of Scer\GAL4Tdc2.PC.
The number of type II boutons at the neuromuscular junction is increased compared to wild type in third instar larvae expression G-oα47AKK109018 under the control of Scer\GAL4futsch-C380.
In contrast to wild type, type II neuromuscular junctions do not show an increase in the number of natural synaptopods in response to octopamine in third instar larvae expressing G-oα47AKK109018 under the control of Scer\GAL4Tdc2.PC.
In contrast to wild type, larvae expressing G-oα47AKK109018 under the control of Scer\GAL4Tdc2.PC fail to respond to starvation by increasing locomotor speed.
The number of type I boutons at the neuromuscular junction is increased compared to wild type in third instar larvae expressing G-oα47AKK109018 under the control of either Scer\GAL4futsch-C380 or Scer\GAL4BG439.
