Description

Male specific recombination has resulted in a 13kb deletion, extending from the 3' end of the progenitor insertion to +1191bp downstream of the hts transcription start site. The deletion removes Fak, CalpA and part of hts. The original insertion is still present in the Fak 5'UTR.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

FakN30/FakK24 larvae show an increase in bouton number per muscle area at the neuromuscular junction compared to wild type.

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.

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.

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/+.

Comments

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.
