Description

Imprecise excision of P{SUPor-P}Atg18KG03090, found 127bp upstream of the ATG start codon, deletes 585bp downstream of the P{SUPor-P}Atg18KG03090 insertion site, removing the second exon, including the strt codon, and part of the third exon.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Atg18Δ585/+ mutants exhibit a neuromuscular junction undergrowth phenotype but do not exhibit defects in axonal transport.

A Atg18Δ585 heterozygous background has no effect on neuromuscular junction growth in an otherwise wild-type background.

A Atg18Δ585 heterozygous background completely suppresses rapamycin-induced neuromuscular junction overgrowth.

Statement
Reference

A Atg18Δ585 heterozygous background significantly suppresses neuromuscular junction overgrowth caused by neuronal expression of Atg1Scer\UAS.cSa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu. Removal of both copies of Atg18 confers almost complete suppression.
