Description

Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a 1293bp deletion that removes the start codon and sequence encoding the first two transmembrane domains and part of the third transmembrane domain of Eaat1.

Eaat1SM2/Eaat1SM2 larvae show impaired crawling behavior.

Eaat1hypo/Eaat1SM2 transheterozygous larvae have severely impaired locomotion and their neuromuscular junctions exhibit morphological and functional defects compared to controls, namely a significant increase in burst duration and a decrease in burst frequency, significantly more but smaller boutons (including satellite boutons) and smaller muscles.

Eaat1SM2 heterozygotes do not show climbing defects.

Eaat1SM2/Eaat1SM2 mutant larvae exhibit a severe reduction in peristaltic contractions, as compared to wild type. Astrocytes in these mutants infiltrate the CNS neuropil normally.

Homozygous, Eaat1SM1/Eaat1SM2 and Eaat1SM2/Df(2L)30A-C larvae all die by 48 hours post-hatching.

Homozygous and Eaat1SM2/Df(2L)30A-C larvae have a dramatically reduced rate of full-body peristaltic contractions compared to controls.

The amplitude and frequency of spontaneous rhythmic currents (SRCs) is reduced in the aCC and RP2 neurons of homozygous first instar larvae (measured 1-4 hours after hatching). A total absence of SRCs is observed in 42% of the motor neurons (during a 3 minute recording period). The kinetic properties of the mutant SRCs are also altered compared to wild type: they have an abnormally long decay compared to controls.

Expression of Hsap\SLC1A3Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus, but not Hsap\SLC1A3PR.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus, under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU rescues the loss of peristaltic contractions seen in Eaat1SM2/Eaat1SM2 mutant larvae.

Comments

Expression of Eaat1Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus, but not Eaat1PR.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-YFP.Venus, under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU rescues the loss of peristaltic contractions seen in Eaat1SM2/Eaat1SM2 mutant larvae.

Expression of Eaat1Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4CG31235.PS rescues the reduction in full-body peristaltic contractions which is seen in Eaat1SM2 larvae. The reduction in the amplitude and frequency of spontaneous rhythmic currents (SRCs) in the aCC and RP2 neurons which is seen in Eaat1SM2 homozygous first instar larvae is also rescued by expression of Eaat1Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of Scer\GAL4CG31235.PS.
