Description

Ten bases are deleted from the GlcAT-P coding region, resulting in frameshifts from the 60th to the 83rd amino acid residues of GlcAT-P-I and from the 60th to the 68th amino acid residues of GlcAT-P-II.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

GlcAT-PSK6/Df(3L)BSC817 mutant larvae display an extended VNC phenotype, but do not show impaired locomotion in crawling assays, as compared to controls; their muscles 6 and 7 at abdominal segment 3 show a partial loss of basement membrane particularly evident at the neuromuscular junction (assessed by Ndg and fluorescent Vkg protein levels), a duplicated and ruptured basal laminae at the muscles boundary (in ultrastructure analyses), and a less branched neuromuscular junction with boutons mis-localized to the muscles boundary (despite of similar bouton number), as compared to controls; at the presynaptic region, the synaptic vesicles (i.e. <80nm structures) are significantly smaller, and both the presynaptic endosome-like vesicles (i.e. >80nm structures) and vesicle structures within 250nm from a T-bar are significantly less abundant, but the total number of vesicles per bouton area and the number of T-bars are not significantly affected, as compared to controls; at the postsynaptic region, the postsynaptic density (PSD) is significantly shorter and deeper, but the number of PSDs per bouton, the subsynaptic reticulum (SSR) thickness per bouton area, and SSR density are not significantly affected, as compared to controls.

Genetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The muscles 6 and 7 at abdominal segment 3 of GlcAT-PSK6, C1GalTA2.1 double heterozygotes are frequently in close contact, covered with a continuous single basement membrane and/or show loss of basement membrane (assessed by Ndg protein levels), as compared to controls.

Comments

The expression of GlcAT-PUAS.cUa under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI rescues the partial loss of basement membrane and the neuromuscular junction defects (i.e. branching, bouton localization and basal lamina) at the larval muscles of GlcAT-PSK6/Df(3L)BSC817 mutants.
