Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Mutants survive to the second instar larval stage with a few third instar escapers.

Muscles 6 and 7 are significantly smaller in Syx18ex6 third instar larvae than in controls.

Mutant larvae show an altered configuration of the muscle endomembrane system compared to controls, which is suggestive of a collapse of the cortical network into the subcortical network.

Syx18ex6 third instar larvae have enlarged and bulbous boutons at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), often with only one or two boutons per NMJ branch. The overall number of boutons per muscle area is reduced compared to controls (the NMJs of muscles 6 and 7 have been analysed). There is an increase in bouton cross-sectional area and a decrease in the length of the subsynaptic reticulum (SSR) in the mutant NMJ compared to controls.

Mutant larvae show small but significant decreases in the amplitude and decay time constant of evoked excitatory junctional potentials (EJP). The mutants show a decreased frequency of spontaneous mini excitatory junction potentials (mEJP), although the mEJP amplitude is normal. The excitatory junctional current (EJC) amplitude is decreased compared to controls, but the EJC decay constant is normal.
