The number of T bars per active zone and bouton surface area per active zone is increased compared to wild type in the boutons of muscle 6/7 in mutant third instar larvae. 57 +/- 5% detachment of the presynaptic membrane is seen.
Lethality is rescued by MedUbi-p63E.PD.
Medunspecified/Med[+] is a suppressor of abnormal neuroanatomy phenotype of hiwEMS
Medunspecified/Med[+] is a suppressor of bouton | increased number phenotype of hiwEMS
Medunspecified/Med[+] is a suppressor of neuromuscular junction phenotype of hiwEMS
Medunspecified/dppd-ho is a suppressor of phenotype of CycEJP
One copy of Medunspecified causes a moderate but significant reduction in the number of boutons per muscle surface area at the neuromuscular junction in hiwEMS homozygotes. The increase in bouton number at the neuromuscular junction seen in larvae expressing Scer\UBP2Scer\UAS.cDa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu in a wild-type background is not seen if they express Scer\UBP2Scer\UAS.cDa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu in a Medunspecified background.
