Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a 3019bp deletion.
Homozygotes do not show a change in median lifespan compared to controls.
Homozygous flies show moderately reduced mobility in a climbing assay compared to wild-type controls.
Mutant larvae do not have any apparent changes in neuromuscular junction morphology.
Syn237 has abnormal locomotor behavior | adult stage phenotype, enhanceable by Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU/Syn1NIG.7152R
Syn237 is an enhancer of partially lethal - majority die phenotype of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU, Syn1NIG.7152R
Nsf2EQ.UAS, Scer\GAL4elav.PLu, Syn237 has abnormal neuroanatomy | third instar larval stage phenotype
Nsf2EQ.UAS, Scer\GAL4elav.PLu, Syn237 has abnormal locomotor behavior | third instar larval stage phenotype
Nsf2EQ.UAS, Scer\GAL4elav.PLu, Syn1NIG.7152R, Syn237 has abnormal neuroanatomy | third instar larval stage phenotype
Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU, Syn1NIG.7152R, Syn237 has short lived phenotype
The viability of animals expressing Syn1NIG.7152R under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU in a Syn237 background is reduced to 13.8%. The double mutant flies pupate and develop into pharate adults that do not show any apparent morphological defects, but the majority do not hatch. Some flies manage to protrude their heads out of the pupal case, but are not able to eclose fully and eventually die.
Flies expressing Syn1NIG.7152R under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU in a Syn237 background have a median lifespan of 27 days, significantly shorter than that of wild-type controls.
Flies expressing Syn1NIG.7152R under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU in a Syn237 background have a strongly reduced mobility in a climbing assay compared to wild-type controls, especially in older animals.
Larvae expressing Syn1NIG.7152R under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU in a Syn237 background do not have any apparent changes in neuromuscular junction morphology.
Larvae expressing Nsf2EQ.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu in a Syn237 background show a dramatic increase in total synaptic branch length at the neuromuscular junction. These larvae show a reduced frequency of peristaltic waves compared to wild type.
Larvae co-expressing Nsf2EQ.Scer\UAS and Syn1NIG.7152R under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu in a Syn237 background show a very dramatic increase in total synaptic branch length at the neuromuscular junction. These larvae show a reduced frequency of peristaltic waves compared to wild type.
