Mutation that affects only the Ank2 XL isoform. Imprecise excision of the Mi{ET1}Ank2MB04517 insertion, leaving two additional base pairs (duplication of target recognition sequence) at the site of the original insertion. The 2bp insertion results in a premature stop codon after V2666 of the open reading frame of the Ank2 XL isoform.
Mutation resulting from the imprecise excision of Mi{ET1}Ank2MB04517. The excision leaves behind a 2 bp insertion at the site of the original insertion. This causes a stop codon just after amino acid 2666 (at the site of the insertion). This affects isoforms Ank2- PU and Ank2-PAA of the FlyBase annotated transcripts.

Larval muscle 4 neuromuscular junctions in Ank2XLΔ homozygotes display a significant decrease in the number of synaptic boutons, in parallel with bouton fusion and pronounced microtubule accumulation in the nerve terminal, as compared to controls.
Ank2XLΔ/Ank2XLΔ mutant 1st, 2nd and 3rd instar larval neuromuscular junctions exhibit a dramatic perturbation of presynaptic microtubule cytoskeleton organization in central, but not terminal, boutons, as compared to controls, with large aggregates of microtubules filling the entire cytoplasmic space normally occupied by several separated synaptic boutons; there is a significant increase in the number of very large and very small synaptic boutons; mutants do not show a difference in evoked postsynaptic potential (EPSP) or mEPSP amplitude or quantal content; and these mutants do not exhibit synaptic retraction, as compared to controls. Type 1b axons innervating NMJs exhibit aberrant axonal microtubule accumulations in Ank2XLΔ/Ank2XLΔ mutants, especially at sites where individual axons exit major nerve bundles.

futschK68/futschK68 suppresses the aberrant microtubule aggregations in Ank2XLΔ/Ank2XLΔ mutant larval neuromuscular junctions and the axons innervating NMJs, but Ank2XLΔ/Ank2XLΔ enhances the decrease in the diameter of the microtubule core filament seen in futschK68/futschK68 mutants; futschK68/futschK68, Ank2XLΔ/Ank2XLΔ double mutants show perturbation of the area of individual synaptic boutons, either dramatically increased or reduced to small varicosities; double mutants exhibit a dramatic reduction in evoked postsynaptic potential (EPSP) amplitude, quantal content, and propagation time from stimulation artefact to the start of EPSP, but no changes in mEPSP amplitude; axon diameter of individual muscle 4 motoneurons is significantly reduced; and double mutants exhibit a significant increase in the fraction of stationary mitochondria and a decrease in anterograde transport velocities in axons, as compared to controls.
