Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Syt1AD4/Syt1D27 synapses show decreased evoked neurotransmitter release compared to wild-type controls. They also show a significantly slower time constant of endocytosis.

Syt1AD4/Syt1D27 synapses contain vesicles with a modest increase in diameter when at rest. After stimulation, there is a dramatic further increase in average vesicle diameter. Inspection of individual active zones demonstrates that vesicular structures with diameters greater than 10nm are observed throughout the vesicle cluster, both at the active zone and periactive zone region. The retrieval of abnormally large vesicles is on going at a time when most endocytosis has been completed in controls.

The excitatory junctional potential (EJP) amplitude at the neuromuscular junction is greatly reduced compared to wild type in sytAD4/sytD27 larvae.

Many homozygous larvae hatch from the egg case (though well after the normal period) and show motor activity such as crawling and feeding. Transheterozygotes with Df(2L)DTD2 never survive to adulthood.

Transheterozygote combinations with other syt alleles are lethal.

Sluggish crawling and feeding behaviour. Larvae do not grow or moult as wild type larvae would, and die after a week (at 18oC).

The viability of sytD27/sytAD4 flies (rescued to adulthood by sytelav.PD) is significantly reduced in combination with stnA6/Y or stnA7/Y. The few surviving males have an extreme behavioural phenotype and are very sedentary and severely uncoordinated (they are more uncoordinated than stnA+/Y ; sytD27/sytAD4 flies rescued to adulthood by sytelav.PD). They die within 48 hours of eclosion. sytD27/sytAD4 females (rescued to adulthood by sytelav.PD) and also heterozygous for stnA6 show abnormal behaviour, including a spread leg "spider-like" appearance and a slightly uncoordinated gait.

Comments

Homozygous lethality can be rescued by sytelav.PD. Rescued flies that emerge are lethargic and show an electrophysiological deficit due to insufficient syt. A second copy of sytelav.PD improves viability and motor activity. ERGs of mutants carrying one copy of sytelav.PD lack both on- and off-transients suggesting a disruption in synaptic communication. In mutants the evoked neurotransmitter release is decreased and spontaneous release in increased (intracellular recordings made from muscle 6).

Mutant phenotype can be rescued, when homozygous or in trans to sytN6, by sytelav.PD.
