Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion. Approximately 600bp of the original insertion remain.
Pdk133 homozygous pupae are considerable smaller and show a severely lower weight severely, as compared to heterozygous controls.
Homozygotes survive to the third instar larval stage and to the adult stage in reduced numbers. Homozygous adults show a severe reduction in body size compared to controls.
Motoneuron cell bodies are smaller in size than normal in homozygous larvae.
Absolute bouton number at the neuromuscular junction is normal in homozygous third instar larvae, while there is a 35% decrease in bouton size. The muscle fibres at the neuromuscular junction are 35% smaller than normal. As a result, normalised bouton number/muscle area at the mutant neuromuscular junction is increased by 55% compared to wild type. The number of active zones and the total synaptic area is significantly reduced at the mutant neuromuscular junction.
Pdk133 has abnormal neuroanatomy | third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by Scer\GAL4VGlut1-OK371/S6kSTDETE.UAS
Pdk133 has NMJ bouton | third instar larval stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by Scer\GAL4VGlut1-OK371/S6kSTDETE.UAS
Pdk133 has NMJ bouton | third instar larval stage phenotype, non-suppressible by Scer\GAL4VGlut1-OK371/S6kUAS.cCa
Pdk133, Scer\GAL4r4, Tl10b.UAS.cUa has pupa phenotype
Pdk133, S6kSTDETE.UAS, Scer\GAL4VGlut1-OK371 has NMJ bouton | third instar larval stage phenotype
Expressing Tl10b.UAS.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4r4 significantly decreases the weight of Pdk133 heterozygotes, but not of homozygotes.
Expression of S6kSTDETE.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371 partially rescues the reduction in bouton size at the neuromuscular junction which is seen in Pdk133 larvae. In addition, the number of boutons at the neuromuscular junction is increased compared to wild type.
Expression of S6kScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371 does not rescue the reduction in bouton size at the neuromuscular junction which is seen in Pdk133 larvae.
Pdk133 is partially rescued by Scer\GAL4VGlut1-OK371/Pdk1UAS.Tag:FLAG
Pdk133 is partially rescued by Pdk1UAS.Tag:FLAG/Scer\GAL4C57
Expression of Pdk1Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371 fully restores the defects in bouton size which are seen at the Pdk133 neuromuscular junction, but the defects in muscle size that are also seen at the Pdk133 neuromuscular junction are not rescued.
Expression of Pdk1Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4C57 fully restores the defects in muscle size which are seen at the Pdk133 neuromuscular junction, but the defects in bouton size that are also seen at the Pdk133 neuromuscular junction are not rescued.
