At 22[o]C, FakN30/FakK24 larvae have enlarged neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) (increased bouton number per muscle area) compared to controls. When reared at 29[o]C, the mutant larvae show no further increase in NMJ size, in contrast to wild-type controls, which show enlarged NMJs at 29[o]C compared to at 22[o]C. The mutant larvae do not show an increase in NMJ size after 8 hours food deprivation, in contrast to controls.
The neuromuscular junction is overgrown compared to wild type in FakN30/FakK24 third instar larvae. The number of boutons per muscle area and NMJ length per muscle area are increased (by 44% and 22% respectively) compared to wild type. There is a reduction in secondary branches and an increase in higher-order branches at the muscle 6/7 NMJ compared to wild type.
The amplitude and frequency of the miniature excitatory junctional potential (mEJP) is normal at the FakN30/FakK24 neuromuscular junction. However, the mean amplitude of the evoked EJP is significantly increased compared to wild type.

FakN30/FakKG00304 ; Nf1E2/+ and rut1/+ ; FakN30/FakKG00304 larvae show an increase in bouton number per muscle area at the neuromuscular junction compared to wild type.
Expression of Nf1Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-CFP under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU rescues the neuromuscular junction overgrowth phenotype seen in FakN30/FakK24 larvae.
The neuromuscular junction overgrowth phenotype seen in FakN30/FakK24 larvae is unaffected if the larvae are also hemizygous for rut1.
Significant overgrowth of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) (increased bouton number per muscle area and increased NMJ length per muscle area) is seen in FakN30/FakKG00304 third instar larvae which are also heterozygous for one of βInt-ν1, scb2, Src42AE1 or Src64BPI.
Significant overgrowth of the NMJ (increased bouton number per muscle area) is seen in LanA9-32/+ FakN30/FakKG00304 third instar larvae.
No significant overgrowth of the neuromuscular junction is seen in FakN30/FakKG00304 third instar larvae which are also heterozygous for one of mew1, ifk27e, mys1 or wb4Y18.
The overgrowth at the NMJ (increased bouton number per muscle area) seen in FakN30/FakK24 third instar larvae is enhanced if they are also carrying both Src42AE1/+ and Src64BPI/+.
FakK24/FakN30 is rescued by Scer\GAL4elav.PU/FakUAS.Tag:HA
FakK24/FakN30 is not rescued by FakUAS.Tag:HA/Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW
The neuromuscular junction defects seen in FakN30/FakK24 larvae are rescued by expression of FakScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU, but not under the control of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PW.
