Genomic fragment encompassing the Ank2 locus (derived from BAC clone BACR03I22) in which sequence corresponding to the central repeat domain of the the XL protein isoform (amino acid residues 3086-10705) has been deleted. Sequence encoding the L protein isoform is unaffected.
Expression of Ank2XL-ΔR in a Ank2f00518/Ank2f00518 background in larvae results in type 1b axons innervating NMJs exhibit aberrant axonal microtubule accumulations, as compared to controls.
Ank2XL-ΔR, Ank2f00518/Ank2f00518 is a suppressor | partially of abnormal neuroanatomy | larval stage phenotype of futschK68
Ank2XL-ΔR, Ank2f00518/Ank2f00518 is a suppressor | partially of embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction | larval stage phenotype of futschK68
Ank2XL-ΔR, Ank2f00518/Ank2f00518 is a suppressor | partially of microtubule | larval stage phenotype of futschK68
Expression of Ank2XL-ΔR in a Ank2f00518/Ank2f00518 mutant background partially rescues the decreased microtubule core filament area seen in futschK68/futschK68 mutant larval neuromuscular junctions.
Ank2XL-ΔR partially rescues Ank2f00518
Ank2XL-ΔR partially rescues the defective synapse morphology of Ank2f00518/Ank2f00518 mutant larvae.
