Imprecise excision of the progenitor P{SUPor-P}SgtKG04982 insertion, resulting in a deletion that removes part of Sgt.
Sgt56 larvae show a significant increase in endosomal microautophagy at the neuromuscular junction compared to wild-type controls. Ultrastructurally, the neuromuscular junctions of mutant larvae show a significant increase in the number of multivesicular bodies (MVBs) per bouton area and a significant increase in the number of intraluminal vesicles per MVB area.
The mean excitatory junctional current (EJC) amplitude at the neuromuscular junction is significantly higher than wild type in Sgt56 larvae.
Sgt56 ; Hsc70-4Δ19/Df(3R)BSC471 double mutant larvae show the same decreased level of endosomal microautophagy and significant decrease in mean excitatory junctional current amplitude at the neuromuscular junction as seen in Hsc70-4Δ19/Df(3R)BSC471 single mutants.
The increase in the number of multivesicular bodies (MVBs) and in the number of intraluminal vesicles per MVB area seen at the neuromuscular junction in Sgt56 larvae is suppressed in Sgt56 ; Hsc70-4Δ19/Df(3R)BSC471 double mutant larvae.
Sgt56 is rescued by Sgtwt.Tag:HA
Expression of Sgtwt.T:Ivir\HA1 completely rescues the increase in endosomal microautophagy which is seen at the neuromuscular junction in Sgt56 larvae.
