Description

Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, P{EPgy2}Past1EY01852, resulting in a 1463 bp deletion 3' to the insertion site, disrupting the second exon of mRNA splice variant A, and the first exon of mRNA splice variant B.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Total bouton numbers (type I) at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) in Past160-4/Past1110-1 third instar larvae are not significantly different to wild type, but show defects in synaptic bouton shape (less round, often with ragged edges); mutants show a significant increase in ghost boutons (muscle 6/7, segment A3) compared to wild type. Despite reduced GluRIIA levels in Past160-4/Past1110-1 larval NMJs, clusters appose normally to presynaptic active zones.

Past160-4/Past1110-1 larval NMJs show significant reductions in the amplitude and frequency of spontaneous miniature excitatory postsynaptic potentials (mEPSPs) as well as significantly dampened evoked postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs); quantal content is not increased to compensate for reduced mEPSPs (rather, it is significantly decreased).

Subsynaptic reticulum (SSR) in Past160-4/Past1110-1 third instar larval NMJs have a similar recovery rate to wild type after photobleaching boutons, but have a significantly higher mobile fraction (SSR may have reduced complexity in mutants). Mutant 1b boutons show normal presynaptic structures (including synaptic vesicles and active zones) but have aberrant SSR, often separated into distinct nodules with a central core surrounded by long membrane sheets (not seen in wild type).

Past160-4 homozygous mutants develop 20% more slowly than heterozygotes. Animals reach adulthood but die three to five days after eclosion, whereas sibling controls survive for over a month.

Past160-4 animals are sensitive to high temperatures, and survival is impaired at 29[o]C in larvae and adults.

Fertility is much reduced in Past160-4 animals. The number of offspring from Past160-4 animals mated with wild-type animals is drastically lower compared to controls.

Past160-4/Past1110-1 males have much thinner testes compared to wildtype. There are significantly fewer bundles of elongating and elongated cysts present. Defects are observed during spermatid individualization, and spermatids fail to extrude their entire cytoplasm into a waste bags.

Ovaries from Past160-4/Past1110-1 or Past160-4/Past160-4 mated females are much smaller, less organised, and contain few well differentiated oocytes (stages 12-14) compared to ovaries from wildtype or heterozygous mated females. The number of egg chambers is reduced compared to controls. Mutant oocytes from stage 9 onwards are devoid of yolk.

GluRIIASP16/GluRIIASP16;Past160-4/Past1110-1 double mutant larvae show further reductions in mEPSP amplitude compared to Past160-4/Past1110-1 mutants (but similar in amplitude to GluRIIASP16/GluRIIASP16 mutants); the compensation increase in quantal content seen in GluRIIASP16/GluRIIASP16 mutants is not seen in GluRIIASP16/GluRIIASP16;Past160-4/Past1110-1 double mutants (they show similar diminished quantal content as seen in Past160-4/Past1110-1 larvae).

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

Nnd-1, Past160-4 double homozygous flies reach adulthood at a very low frequency, and die after 1 day. The wings are more severely notched compared to Nnd-1 mutant flies.

Only 6% of H2, Past160-4 double heterozygous mutant flies show defects in wing veins, much reduced compared to single H2 mutant flies.
