DysE6 lacks the DLP2 muscle-specific isoform but expresses the Dp186 isoform at wild-type levels.
A deletion of 2.7kb caused by the imprecise excision of P{EP}DysEP3397 removes genomic sequences encoding all of the DLP2 5' untranslated region and extends ~200bp downstream of the DLP2 intiator ATG but does not delete the unique DLP1 first exon.
3R_r6:19462327..19465027
Approximate location of the DysE6 deletion resulting from the imprecise excision of P{EP}DysEP3397. The deletion is reported as 2.7kb in size and extending to about 200 bp past the DLP2 initiator ATG. DLP2 is the second major transcription start for Dys. The location of the deletion on the reference sequence was inferred by a FlyBase curator. Coordinates were originally reported with respect to the Release 5 genome assembly, and converted to the current Release 6 genome assembly coordinates by a FlyBase curator.
DysE6 homozygous or heterozygous adults exhibit wings with partially missing posterior crossvein when compared to controls.
DysE6 mutant adults do not have any difference in benzaldehyde avoidance, compared to controls.
Most of the posterior crossvein is missing in homozygous DysE6 mutants. The remnant of the posterior crossvein is detached, it does not reach the fourth and fifth longitudinal wing veins.
The posterior crossvein appears normal in DysE6 heterozygotes.
DysE6/Dysdet-1 heterozygotes display posterior crossvein abnormalities.
There is an increase in the number of T-bars at DysE6 mutant neuromuscular junctions relative to controls.
Quantal content (QC) at the third larval neuromuscular junction is increased in DysE6/+ heterozygotes relative to wild-type controls.
Synaptic currents in DysE6 are no different in amplitude compared with wild-type. Evoked synaptic currents at the neuromuscular junction are, however, significantly elevated.
Homozygous DysE6 mutant flies exhibit defects in cross vein formation. No defects are observed in heterozygotes.
One copy of DysEMS-ModE10 in a DysE6/+ background results in posterior crossvein defects.
DysE6/Df(3R)Dl-X43 mutant ovaries show oocyte polarity defects.
Dys8-2/DysE6 mutant third instar larval eye discs develop aberrant neuronal projections from photoreceptor neurons to the brain optic lobes. Axons stop irregularly, making gaps in the normal termination zone of the lamina plexus, deviating from the path and bundling aberrantly. This axon projection phenotype not observed in Dys8-2/+ mutant discs.
DysE6 mutants do not display obvious structural muscle defects either in embryos or in third instar larvae; on the ultrastructural level disoriented myosin filaments are occasionally observed.
DysE6 mutant larvae do not display statistically significant differences in muscle size, number of boutons, lengths of the synaptic termini, and the number of terminal branches, compared to wild-type controls.
EJP amplitudes, evoked by nerve stimulation at 0.3Hz are approximately 45% increased in DysE6 mutants compared with control larvae, due to an increase in presynaptic glutamate release in the mutants. Spontaneous mEJP amplitudes are essentially unchanged in the mutants compared to controls. Quantal content is approximately 50-65% higher in DysE6 mutants compared to wild-type. The frequency of spontaneous neurotransmitter release is elevated approximately 35-50% in DysE6 mutants.
DysE6/DysGE20705 trans-heterozygotes exhibit an increase in EJP amplitude compared to controls when evoked by nerve stimulation at 0.3Hz. Quantal content is also significantly higher in DysE6/DysGE20705 trans-heterozygotes compared to wild-type.
DysE6/+ heterozygotes exhibit an increase in EJP amplitude compared to controls when evoked by nerve stimulation at 0.3Hz. Quantal content is also significantly higher in DysE6/+ trans-heterozygotes compared to wild-type.
Ca2+ cooperativity at DysE6 mutant neuromuscular junctions is the same as in the wild-type.
Synaptic boutons in DysE6 appear slightly more elongated than in controls. The areas of the bouton occupied by vesicles is increase in DysE6 mutants compared with wild-type. The number of active zones with a T-bar relative to the total number of active zones is significantly increased in DysE6 mutants by approximately two-fold, whereas the overall number of active zones does not increase.

Most of the posterior crossvein is missing in DysE6/+, cv-c1/+ double heterozygotes. The remnant of the posterior crossvein is detached, it does not reach the fourth and fifth longitudinal wing veins.
The increased quantal content (QC) measured at the neuromuscular junction of DysE6/+ mutants is not reduced as a result of expression of cv-cScer\UAS.cDa under the control of Scer\GAL4G14.
Heterozygosity for Cdc424 in a DysE6/+ mutant background restores quantal content (QC) to wild-type levels.
