UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of Hsap\DISC1 in which amino acid residues 349-402 are deleted. The protein is tagged with Tag:HA.
The total length of axonal branches of γ-neurons in MARCM somatic clones in the adult mushroom body expressing Hsap\DISC1Δ349-402.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 is significantly reduced but the number of branching points is comparable to wild-type and the dendritic branching is also unaffected.
Expression of Hsap\DISC1Δ349-402.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU has no significant effect on the neuromuscular junction structure and morphology i third instar larvae: the total bouton area, number of boutons as well axonal branching points are all normal.
