Comment:

The CRISPR-mediated deletion of the entire coding region of Lrp4 is estimated to extend from 2 bp upstream of the Lrp4 start codon to 34 bp downstream of the stop codon.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Lrp4dalek mutants are viable with a slightly reduced body size and show reduction of synapse number (assessed by counting active zone marker puncta) in VA1v olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) axon terminals in females and in ORN axon terminals projecting to the VA1d, DA1, DL4 and DM6 glomeruli as well as in the excitatory neurons projecting to the lateral horn, while no such decrease is observed in the Gad1-positive inhibitory neurons projecting to the DA1 glomerulus or in the inhibitory neurons projecting to the lateral horn. The neurite volume is not affected in any of the neurons except for a slight decrease in the inhibitory lateral horn projecting neurons. On the ultrastructural level, the mutant ORN terminals have slightly increased perimeter and show significant decrease in the T-bar number the majority of which display various morphological defects (including lacking tops, detached, misshapen and frequent multiple T-bars).

No synaptic morphological defects are observed in the VA1v ORNs in Lrp4dalek/+ heterozygous adults.

Reference

Neither Lrp4dalek/+ nor Srpk79DP10036/+ single heterozygous adults display any defects in the synapse morphology in the VA1v olfactory receptor neurons but in Lrp4dalek/+;Srpk79DP10036/+ double heterozygotes the synapse number (assessed by counting active zone marker puncta) is significantly decreased compared to controls.

The reduced active zone number in the VA1v olfactory receptor neurons observed in Lrp4dalek homozygous mutants is restored by expression of Srpk79DP10036 under the control of Scer\GAL4peb-GAL4 in the mutant background.
