Simultaneous expression of cpxE34A.UAS.7A and nSybK83A.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 results in a significant decrease in the frequency of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents, mESPCs, at the larval neuromuscular junction compared to larvae expressing cpxUAS.7A with nSybUAS.cLa, but the magnitude of this reduction is comparable to that observed for either cpxE34A.UAS.7A or nSybK83A.UAS relative to their counterpart wild-type transgene-overexpressing controls.
Scer\GAL4elav-C155-driven expression of cpxE34A.UAS.7A in the cpxSH1 background leads to reduced frequency of mESPCs at the larval NMJ compared to the rescue line expressing cpxUAS.7A but the amplitude as well as area of the evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents is comparable in both lines.
Expression of cpxScer\UAS.7A under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 fully rescues the elevation of spontaneous release and the reduction of EPSC amplitude seen at the neuromuscular junction in cpxSH1 third instar larvae.
