Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Homozygous Lapsynzg1 mutants do not show any obvious developmental defects in the formation of the central (CNS) or peripheral (PNS) nervous systems. CNS commissure formation and PNS axonal path-finding both appear normal in the mutants.

Heterozygous Lapsynzg1 third instar larvae display abnormal synaptic structure with supernumerary satellite boutons at the neuromuscular junction.

Heterozygous Lapsynzg1 larvae show normal olfactory and gustatory behaviours. In contrast to wild-type, associative learning in groups of reciprocally trained Lapsynzg1 heterozygotes is absent.

The increase in satellite bouton formation observed in Lapsynzg1 heterozygotes is partially suppressed in a rut1 mutant background.

Comments

Overexpression of LapsynScer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU partially rescues the lethality of both Lapsynzg1/Df(2R)Exel6072 and homozygous Lapsynzg1 mutants. The rescued homozygous Lapsynzg1 animals emerge as adults and show no obvious behavioural abnormalities. Similar results are obtained using Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL.

Overexpression of LapsynScer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 partially rescues the lethality of homozygous Lapsynzg1. The rescued animals survive to the pupal stage, but they fail to eclose as adults.

Overexpression of LapsynScer\UAS.cGa via Scer\GAL4Mhc.PU fails to rescue the lethality of homozygous Lapsynzg1. Homozygous Lapsynzg1 mutants expressing LapsynScer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PU die as embryos.

Presynaptic expression of LapsynScer\UAS.cGa driven by Scer\GAL4elav-C155 can rescue the satellite bouton phenotype of heterozygous Lapsynzg1. However, expression of LapsynScer\UAS.cGa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 fails to rescue the learning defects in heterozygous Lapsynzg1 larvae.
