Expression of stasScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4n-syb.PS has no effect on neuromuscular junction evoked excitatory postsynaptic potential (eEPSP) amplitude compared to controls.
Expression of stasScer\UAS.cLa either pan-neuronally under the control of Scer\GAL4n-syb.PS or in cholinergic neurons using Scer\GAL4Cha.7.4 rescues the increase in neuromuscular junction evoked excitatory postsynaptic potential (eEPSP) amplitudes seen in SmnX7 mutant larvae. The reduction in muscle size is rescued to 80% of that in control larvae. Expression of stasScer\UAS.cLa in the glutamatergic motor neurons using the Scer\GAL4VGlut-OK371 driver fails to rescue either the eEPSP or muscle size phenotypes. The locomotor activity defects seen in SmnX7 mutants are not rescued by any of the three drivers.
Expression of stasScer\UAS.cLa under the control of Scer\GAL4n-syb.PS rescues the increase in evoked excitatory postsynaptic potential amplitudes at the neuromuscular junctions of stasEY04008 mutant larvae.
