Expression of nosdsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ RNAi under the control of Scer\GAL4477 results in dendritic field coverage defects and loss of terminal branches in class IV dendritic arborizing (da) neurons in third instar larvae due to net loss rather than gain of terminal branches during mid-to-late third larval instar. nosdsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ RNAi expressing neurons display perturbed branch dynamics as the retraction rates are highly increased. Expression under the Scer\GAL4ppk.1.9 driver leads to a significantly increased density of mitochondria in dendrites compared to controls.
Expression of nosdsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ driven by Scer\GAL4elav-C155 or Scer\GAL4how-24B results in a significant increase in total bouton number at the third instar larval neuromuscular junction, compared to controls; the number of active zones in type 1s boutons is significantly increased with expression driven by Scer\GAL4elav-C155. Expression of nosdsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ driven by Scer\GAL4Mhc.PU results in a significant decrease in GluRIIA (and increase in GluRIIB) immunoreactivity at NMJ boutons. Recordings from the NMJ of Scer\GAL4Mhc.PU>nosdsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ larvae show a significant decrease in mEJP (mini) amplitude and faster mEJP decay times, compared to controls.

The dendritic field coverage defects and loss of terminal branches observed in class IV dendritic arborizing neurons of third instar larvae expressing nosdsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ under the control of Scer\GAL4477 is suppressed by combination with a single copy of hidA206 or Df(3L)H99 or by co-expression of hidGD1673 RNAi or Diap1Scer\UAS.cHa but not by combination with both Df(3L)grimC15E and rpr87 (one copy each). The increased branch retraction rate characteristic for nosdsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ RNAi (driven by Scer\GAL4477) expressing larvae as well as the increased density of mitochondria in dendrites (RNAi driven by Scer\GAL4ppk.1.9) are also rescued by combination with hidA206.
