HPat overexpression does not have a strong effect on synaptic terminal growth during larval development. (A) Representative images of muscle 6/7 NMJs from abdominal segment A3 labeled with antibodies against Dlg. Scale bar: 20 µm. (B) Quantification of type 1b boutons at muscle 6/7 clefts. Asterisks indicate statistical significance compared to controls (*P<0.05; Student’s t-test). There is a modest decrease in type 1b bouton numbers when UAS-hpat is driven by presynaptic (C380 and D42) but not postsynaptic (24B) Gal4 drivers. OE, overexpression.
