Detailed Description

Reference

Leaky expression of GluRIICUAS.cMa (without a GAL4 driver) under the control of Scer\GAL4G14 in a GluRIIC2/Df(2L)ast1 mutant background results in a significant reduction in bouton number at muscles 6/7 and 4 NMJs compared to controls.

GluRIIC2 synaptic mutants exhibit wild-type bouton structure.

The ionophoretic response to glutamate at the neuromuscular junction is approximately 13-fold less than that of wild-type larvae in GluRIIC2/Df(2L)ast1 larvae carrying GluRIICScer\UAS.cMa in the absence of an Scer\GAL4 driver. In addition, these mutant animals show a 2.5-fold reduction in mean miniature excitatory junctional potential (mEJP) amplitude and a 14.4-fold reduction in mEJP frequency compared to wild type. At low calcium levels (0.47mM), there is no difference between the excitatory junctional current (EJC) amplitude of the mutant synapse and of the wild-type synapse. However, at high external calcium levels (1.5mM), the mutant synapses generate an EJC only 1/5 the size of the wild-type EJC.

Hemizygotes and GluRIIC1/GluRIIC2 animals are embryonic lethal. Late stage embryos are grossly normal but are paralysed and fail to hatch.
