FlyBase curator comment: "congenital myasthenic syndrome 7" is associated with human ortholog SYT2.
Syt1AD4/Syt1N13 transheterozygous larvae exhibit synaptic transmission defects across neuromuscular junctions, including severely defective synchronous neurotransmitter release, a large increase in failure rate following stimulation, and enhancement of the slower asynchronous phase of release. These defects are enhanced upon the expression of Syt1I426K.UAS.Tag:MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155.
Expressing Syt1I426K.UAS.Tag:MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 induces synaptic transmission defects across the larval neuromuscular junction, including decreased excitatory evoked junctional current (eEJC), and eEJC facilitation during 10 Hz stimulation instead of the synaptic depression observed in controls.
Scer\GAL4elav-C155/Syt1I426K.UAS.Tag:MYC fails to rescue Syt1AD4/Syt1N13
