Synaptic growth associated with enhanced minis is suppressed by synaptotagmin 4 (syt 4BA1) and BMP receptor (wit) mutants. (A) Representative traces of spontaneous release recorded from syntaxin 1A mutant (w1118;; syx3-69) and control (w1118) larval muscle 6 NMJs. (B) Representative images of muscle 6/7 NMJs of control (w1118), syx3-69 mutant (w1118;; syx3-69), syt 4BA1 null (w1118;; syt 4BA1), and syx3-69, syt 4BA1 double mutant (w1118;; syx3-69, syt 4BA1). (C) Mean synaptic bouton number measured for indicated genotypes. (D) Representative images of muscle 6/7 NMJs of the indicated genotypes. (E) Mean synaptic bouton number measured for control (w1118;; CpxPE), cpxSH1 null (w1118;; cpxSH1), control Syt 4PE (w1118;; Syt 4PE), syt 4BA1 null (w1118;; syt 4BA1), and syx3-69, syt 4BA1 double mutant (w1118;; syt 4BA1, cpxSH1) (F) Representative images of muscle 6/7 NMJs from control (w1118;; CpxPE), cpxSH1 null, wit null (w1118;;
), wit, cpxSH1 double mutant (w1118;;
), and wit heterozygotes in cpx null background (w1118;;
). (G) Mean synaptic bouton number measured for the indicated genotypes. Indicated comparisons were made using ANOVA with post hoc Tukey analysis. Mean ± SEM is indicated. Scale bars = 10 μm.
