1160bp deletion that removes part of the ohgt gene, including the transcription start site. Generated by imprecise excision of P{GSV6}GS14825.
The disease model uses ohgt[ex1] in combination with a deficiency encompassing the locus. FlyBase curator comment: ohgt is the ortholog of human CRBN, which is associated with MIM:607417.
The larval neuromuscular junctions of ohgtex1/Df(3R)BSC621 transheterozygotes exhibit a significant increase in paired-pulsed ratio and altered short-term plasticity (i.e. increased excitatory junctional current amplitudes in high frequency pulse train stimulation) but show normal miniature excitatory junctional current amplitude and frequency and normal evoked excitatory junctional current amplitude, as compared to controls. These neuromuscular junctions show an apparently normal synaptic structure/number of boutons, as compared to controls.
The larval neuromuscular junctions of ohgtex1/Df(3R)BSC621 transheterozygotes that also express ohgtG552X.UAS.Tag:MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 show significantly decreased miniature excitatory junctional current frequencies, which are not observed either in ohgtex1/Df(3R)BSC621 transheterozygotes or in wild-type controls.
ohgtex1/Df(3R)BSC621 is rescued by Scer\GAL4elav-C155/ohgtUAS.Tag:MYC
ohgtex1/Df(3R)BSC621 is not rescued by Scer\GAL4elav-C155/ohgtG552X.UAS.Tag:MYC
