EndoAΔ4/EndoA26, EndoAS75D.CyPet larvae show increased autophagosomes (Atg8-mCherry) at NMJ boutons, under both fed and starved conditions.
EndoAΔ4 heterozygotes containing a copy of EndoAT:Zzzz\4C are viable. In these individuals, light-induced inactivation of EndoAT:Zzzz\4C at the presynaptic region of third instar larval neuromuscular junctions results in significant decreases in the local level of endocytosis and in the local formation of autophagosomes (detected as fluorescent Atg8 puncta in confocal microscopy images) in response to electric-stimulation, as compared to 'non-inactivated' and wild-type controls.
In EndoAΔ4/EndoA26 transheterozygotes containing a copy of EndoAT:Avic\GFP-CyPet, the presynaptic region of third instar larval neuromuscular junctions does not present abnormal density of autophagosome (detected as fluorescent puncta of Atg8 or Lamp in confocal microscopy images) under normal diet, nor defects in starvation-induced formation of autophagosomes, as compared to controls. In EndoAΔ4/EndoA26 transheterozygotes containing a copy of EndoAS75A.T:Avic\GFP-CyPet, the presynaptic region of third instar larval neuromuscular junctions fails to present the expected starvation-induced formation of autophagosomes (detected as fluorescent puncta of Atg8 or Lamp in confocal microscopy images), but presents no defects in autophagosome density under normal diet, as compared to controls; the corresponding third instar larval effector neuron axons do not present defects in autophagosome density, as compared to controls. In EndoAΔ4/EndoA26 transheterozygotes containing a copy of EndoAS75D.T:Avic\GFP-CyPet, the presynaptic region of third instar larval neuromuscular junctions presents an abnormally high density of autophagosomes (detected as fluorescent puncta of Atg8 or Lamp in confocal microscopy images) under normal diet, but does not present defects in the starvation-induced autophagosome formation, as compared to controls.
EndoAΔ4/EndoA26 transheterozygous adults containing a copy of either EndoAS75A.T:Avic\GFP-CyPet or EndoAS75D.T:Avic\GFP-CyPet exhibit significant decreases in the number of dopaminergic PPM3 and PPL1 neurons, but not dopaminergic PPM1 and PPM2 neurons, at day 30, but not day 1, after eclosion, as compared to controls; in adults reared under constant light, but not under constant dark, the eye exhibits a significant decrease in the rhabdomere number per ommatidium and in the photoreceptor terminal number per lamina cartridge (at day 7 of light exposure), as compared to controls; the eye of individuals reared under either constant light or constant dark also exhibits a significant decrease in depolarization amplitude in response to light pulses (at day 3 of light exposure), as compared to controls.
EndoAΔ4-homozygous mutant eyes within EndoAΔ4-heterozygous adults previously reared under constant light, but not within adults previously reared under constant dark, exhibit a progressive decrease in depolarization amplitude in response to light pulses (from day 2 to day 7 of light exposure) and exhibit significant decreases in the rhabdomere number per ommatidium and in the photoreceptor terminal number per lamina cartridge at day 7 of light exposure, as compared to controls.
The neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) of third instar larvae homozygous for endoAΔ4 exhibit numerous satellite boutons, i.e., small supernumerary boutons protruding from the primary terminal axis. This phenotype is fully penetrant at all neuromuscular junctions. Control larvae exhibit very few satellite boutons (2.48 per NMJ), whereas endoAΔ4 exhibit a 10-fold increase (30.8 per NMJ). No abnormalities are apparent at the end of embryogenesis.
endoAΔ4 mutant synapses exhibit approximately 65% more active zones than control synapses.
endoAΔ4/endoAEP927 larvae exhibit supernumerary boutons at neuromuscular junctions (a 10-fold increase, 30.5 compared to 2.48 satellite boutons/synapse). The boutons remain confined to the region of the muscle that normally receives the innervation, but this region is now crowded by the overgrowth of small boutons. No abnormalities are apparent at the end of embryogenesis.
The amplitude of miniature excitatory junction potentials (mEJPs) is increased by 50% in endoAΔ4 larvae compared to controls. Stimulation of endoAΔ4 at 10 Hz for 10 minutes results in the release of a lower total number of quanta compared to wild-type larvae (~80,000 vs ~350,000). Monitoring of the recovery of the vesicle pool following stimulation shows that endoAΔ4 vesicle pools are able to recover, but at a much slower rate than wild-type pools. The mEJP amplitude distribution is lower in endoAΔ4 larvae following a tetanus challenge than in wild-type larvae.
endoAΔ4 synaptic vesicles are able to load lipophilic dyes, but at a greatly reduced rate compared to wild-type vesicles, indicative of slowed endocytosis. Endocytotic rates increase from 1 to 5 Hz in endoAΔ4 synapses, but are saturated by ~7 Hz stimulation, with synapses consistently recycling ~80 vesicles/s from 7 to 20 Hz. In contrast, endocytotic rates increase from 1 to 20 Hz stimulation in wild-type synapses with recycling up to at least 360 vesicles/s.
Neuromuscular junction synapse in endoAEP927/endoAΔ4 animals are enlarged. The surface area of type I boutons are 160um2 for endoAEP927/endoAΔ4 animals, compared to 65um2 in controls.
