49% of hemisegments show detachment of ISN motor axons from sensory nerves of the anterior fascicle in sideC137/sideI1563 embryos.
sideC137/sideI1563 embryos show severe delays in the dorsal migration of the ISN compared to wild type. Growth cones do eventually manage to cross the dorsal trunk, but a subset lag behind. The average growth rate of the mutant nerve is 15.2 +/- 4.6 mm/h compared to 31.9 +/- 13.4 mm/h for wild-type nerves. A small fraction of mutant ISN growth cones show highly disoriented directionality, extending in abnormal directions over the course of axonal growth.
Most, if not all, ISN growth cones are tightly attached to tracheal branches in sideC137/sideI1563 embryos expressing sideScer\UAS.cSa in the trachea under the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS. The ISN follows the tracheal substrate in these embryos and crosses and re-crosses the transverse connective.
Most, if not all, ISN growth cones are attached to hemocytes in sideC137/sideI1563 embryos expressing sideScer\UAS.cSa in the hemocytes under the control of Scer\GAL4srp (this does not occur in wild-type embryos). Filopodial extensions of both cell membranes are tightly interdigitated.
sideC137/sideI1563 third instar larvae often lack neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) on dorsal muscles (the percentage of muscles lacking NMJs is given in parentheses); muscle 1 (19%), muscle 9 (24%), muscle 2 (11%), muscle 10 (9%).
sideC137/sideI1563 third instar larvae often lack neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) on ventral muscles (the percentage of muscles lacking NMJs is given in parentheses); muscle 12 (58%), muscle 13 (75%), muscle 6 (77%), muscle 7 (85%).
The ISN motor nerve of sideC137/sideI1563 third instar larvae shows innervation defects at the neuromuscular junction on a number of muscles (percentage of hemisegments with defects on the indicated muscle is listed); 25.0% (muscle 1), 35.0% (muscle 9), 16.7% (muscle 2), 11.7% (muscle 10).
The SNa motor nerve of sideC137/sideI1563 third instar larvae shows innervation defects at the neuromuscular junction on a number of muscles (percentage of hemisegments with defects on the indicated muscle is listed); 41.7% (muscle 21), 3.4% (muscle 22), 3.3% (muscle 23), 51.7% (muscle 24).
The ISNb motor nerve of sideC137/sideI1563 third instar larvae shows innervation defects at the neuromuscular junction on a number of muscles (percentage of hemisegments with defects on the indicated muscle is listed); 75.0% (muscle 12), 75.0% (muscle 13), 83.3% (muscle 6), 85.0% (muscle 7).
The SNc motor nerve of sideC137/sideI1563 third instar larvae shows innervation defects at the neuromuscular junction on a number of muscles (percentage of hemisegments with defects on the indicated muscle is listed); 61.7% (muscle 26), 86.7% (muscle 27), 66.7% (muscle 29).
The ISNd motor nerve of sideC137/sideI1563 third instar larvae shows innervation defects at the neuromuscular junction on a number of muscles (percentage of hemisegments with defects on the indicated muscle is listed); 78.3% (muscle 15), 63.3% (muscle 16), 98.4% (muscle 17).
