Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Arfip12/Arfip71 third instar larvae have significantly fewer boutons at the neuromuscular junction (muscle 4) compared to Arfip12/+ heterozygotes. Arfip12/Arfip71 larval NMJs are similar to wild type in terms ofRMP, mEJP, EJP and quantal content.

Newly eclosed homozygous escapers have no obvious neurological phenotypes and are able to fly and climb walls.

The average number of boutons at the neuromuscular junction is significantly reduced compared to controls in homozygous and Arfip71/Arfip12 third instar larvae. The average number of boutons at the neuromuscular junction is also reduced in Arfip71/Arfip12 second instar larvae.

Axonal transport is normal in Arfip71/Arfip12 third instar larvae.

The Golgi appears smaller and more fragmented than normal in the ventral nerve cord of Arfip71/Arfip12 third instar larvae.

Homozygotes are sensitive to ethanol-induced sedation compared to heterozygous siblings and wild-type controls.

Arfip12/Arfip71 flies are sensitive to ethanol-induced sedation compared to wild-type controls.

Arfip12/Arl11 or Arfip12/Df(3L)Arl1-FRT third instar larvae have significantly fewer boutons at the neuromuscular junction compared to Arfip12/+ or Arl11/+ heterozygotes.

Expression of Arl1Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 driven by Scer\GAL4RapGAP1-OK6 rescues the reduced bouton number seen at the neuromuscular junction of Arfip12/Df(3L)Arl1-FRT third instar larvae.

garzΔ137/+;Arfip71/+ or garzΔ137/+;Arfip12/+ third instar larvae have significantly fewer boutons at the neuromuscular junction compared to Arfip71/+ heterozygotes. garzΔ137/+ does not enhance the reduction in bouton number seen in Arfip71/Arfip12 larvae.

Arfip12/GlKG07739 double heterozygous larvae have a significantly reduced number of boutons at the neuromuscular junction.

Arfip12 enhances the reduction in the number of type 1b boutons at the neuromuscular junction seen in third-instar larvae expressing GlΔ.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4D42.

Arfip12/+ partially suppresses the resistance to ethanol-induced sedation seen in RhoGAP18B1 homozygotes.

RhoGAP18B1/+ ; Arfip12/+ double heterozygotes show wild-type sensitivity to ethanol in a sedation assay.

The sensitivity to ethanol-induced sedation seen in Arf51FNP5226/Arf51FEP2612 flies is not enhanced if they are also homozygous for Arfip12.

Arfip12 does not alter the increased resistance to ethanol-induced sedation which is seen in flies expressing Arf51FScer\UAS.cCa under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 specifically in the adult (using the heat sensitive Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B allele to limit expression).

Comments

Expression of ArfipScer\UAS.WT driven by Scer\GAL4RapGAP1-OK6 (motor-neuron specific) rescues the reduced bouton number seen at the neuromuscular junction of Arfip12/Arfip71 third instar larvae. Expression of ArfipGBD.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 by either Scer\GAL4elav-C155 (pan-neuronal) or Scer\GAL4RapGAP1-OK6 does not rescue the reduced bouton number seen at the neuromuscular junction of Arfip12/Arfip71 third instar larvae.

Expression of ArfipScer\UAS.WT under the control of either Scer\GAL4elav-C155 or Scer\GAL4Rapgap1-OK6 rescues the reduction in bouton number at the neuromuscular junction seen in Arfip71/Arfip12 third instar larvae.

Expression of ArfipBAR.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of either Scer\GAL4elav-C155 or Scer\GAL4Rapgap1-OK6 fails to rescue the reduction in bouton number at the neuromuscular junction seen in Arfip71/Arfip12 third instar larvae.

Expression of ArfipScer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4hs.PU at 29[o]C rescues the sensitivity of Arfip12/Arfip71 flies to ethanol-induced sedation.
