Description

Imprecise excision of the P{EP} removes 1113 nucleotides downstream from the initiating ATG completely removing the first exon of Amph.

Imprecise excision of the P{EP} element, resulting in a 3428bp deletion that removes the entire Amph first exon (deletion extends from -1925 to +1502, coordinates relative to the first nucleotide (+1) of the first methionine of the Amph cDNA).

Detailed Description

Reference

VL3 muscles in Amph26 homozygous larvae exhibit nuclear positioning defects: present significantly shorter internuclear distances but similar nucleus-muscle edge distance and similar distance between nuclear lines, as compared to controls; there are no changes in the distances between the dorsal and ventral ends of the muscle and the nearest nucleus. Homozygous embryonic LT muscles show a small increase in the frequency of individual nuclei near the center of the muscle (nuclei regularly dissociate from a cluster and move into the middle of the muscle, back into the original cluster or move into the other cluster), but no changes in nucleus:muscle area ratio, as compared to controls.

Subsynaptic reticulum in Amph26/Amph26 third instar larval neuromuscular junctions is similar to wild type.

Mutant pharate adults lack T-tubules in the abdominal temporary eclosion muscles, but they show normal muscle attachments.

Synaptic bouton number is significantly reduced at the NMJs of third instar larval Amph26 mutants. In Amph26 mutants, exocytosis of Fas2 is impaired.

In Amph26 mutant animals, the excitatory junction potentials (EJPs) evoked by 1Hz stimulation are wild-type in amplitude and time course. High frequency stimulation (20 Hz) of the motorneurons leads only to a slow rate of rundown in the evoked response, as also seen in controls. When spontaneous neurotransmitter release (mEJPs) is measured, a small but significant increase in amplitude of the mEJPs is seen in mutant muscles, but the frequency of these events is not altered. The indirect flight muscles (IFMs) in mutant animals are similar to wild-type in appearance, but with slightly looser packing of myofibrils. The T system is severely disorganised and reduced. Many transverse elements of the T system are lost, and the remainder are predominantly longitudinal, and sometimes broader. Dyad junctions are still apparent, but distributed irregularly, and occupy only 42% of the cell volume fraction they occupy in wild-type. They are often larger than in wild-type, sometimes extending over half the length of a sarcomere. Dyads are larger, more elongated than wild-type, mutant T-tubules often have larger diameters.

Mutant larvae move sluggishly. Homozygous larvae show a small but significant increase in the quantal size of miniature excitatory junctional potentials (mEJPs) at the neuromuscular junction compared to wild type. There is no change in the amplitude of elicited excitatory junctional potentials (EJPs) compared to wild type. Homozygous adults have superficially normal eyes that respond to light correctly. However, rhabdomere membranes are unusually closely packed and are occasionally fused.

Amph26/Amph26 suppresses subsynaptic reticulum defects seen at Past160-4/Past1110-1 larval NMJs.

Bouton numbers are further reduced at the NMJs of third instar larvae in Fas2e76;Amph26 double mutants.

The bifR38/Y phenotype is partially rescued by Amph26/+; fewer rhabdomeres are split and elongated.
