Act57BE84K, Nrx-1[+]/Nrx-1278 has abnormal neuroanatomy | third instar larval stage phenotype
Act57BE84K, Nrx-1[+]/Nrx-1278 has embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction | third instar larval stage phenotype
Act57BE84K, Nrx-1[+]/Nrx-1278 has presynaptic active zone | third instar larval stage phenotype
Quantification of active zone (AZ) apposition at third instar larval neuromuscular junctions in either heterozygote Act57BE84K/+ or Nrx-1278/+ alone reveal no significant increase in unappossed AZs compared to wild-type. However, heterozygosity for Nrx-1278 I THE Act57BE84K/+ background results in a significant increase in misaligned AZs to postsynaptic receptor fields.
