FlyBase curator note: Pak3Df in trans to Pak3d02472 ameliorates spas5.75 phenotype.

Pak3Df ameliorates the neuromuscular junction phenotypes seen in spas5.75 when heterozygous with Pak3d02472.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

The NMJs of Pak3Df/Pak3d02472 mutant larvae display linear bouton arrangements that are very similar to wild type, with little to no change in bouton number, size, morphology, or microtubule distribution. The mean amplitude of evoked excitatory junction potentials (EJPs) in third instar larvae are similar to controls, as are mEJP amplitude and quantal content. However mEJP frequency is reduced in Pak3Df/Pak3d02472 mutants.

Pak3Df is a suppressor | partially of eye phenotype of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU, spasT32

Pak3d02472/Pak3Df is a suppressor of NMJ bouton phenotype of spas5.75

Additional Comments

Statement
Reference

Pak3Df partially suppresses the eye phenotype seen when spasT32 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PU.

Pak3Df/Pak3d02472 completely suppresses the defects in axonal branching and microtubule organisation seen in homozygous spas5.75 larval neuromuscular junctions. Bunched synaptic boutons are also no longer observed and the reductions in Excitatory Junction Potential (EJP) amplitude and quantal content are fully rescued. In contrast to either mutant alone, the miniature EJP frequency in Pak3Df/Pak3d02472 spas5.75 double mutants is similar to controls.
