Fig 10. CaMKII functions downstream of Kek6 and DNT2 at the NMJ.

Fig 10

Confocal images showing A3-4 muscle 6/7 NMJs, labeled as in Fig 9. (A) Reduced pCaMKIIT287 levels in kek-6 mutants, and kek-6 DNT2 double mutants. Kurskal-Wallis p = 0.0009, and post-hoc Dunn. (B-D) Over-expresison of activated CaMKIIT287D in motoneurons rescued the NMJ phenotypes of (B) kek-6 mutants, Kruskal-Wallis p = 0.0081, post-hoc Dunn; (C) DNT2 mutants, Kruskal-Wallis p = 0.0001, post-hoc Dunn, and (D) kek-6 DNT2 double mutants. Welch ANOVA p<0.000, post-hoc Games-Howell. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001 see S1 Table. N = 23–75 hemisegments. Genotypes: MN = motoneurons, D42GAL4; Neurons: elavGAL4. Different neuronal drivers were used due to genetic constraints. Control: wild-type: yw/+; grey boxes: D42GAL4/+. (A) Mutant genotypes as in Fig 4; Rescues: (B) w;UASCaMKIIT287D/+; D42GAL4 kek634/ Df(3R)6361. (C) w;UASCaMKIIT287D/+; elavGAL4 Df(3L)6092/DNT237. (D) w; UASCaMKIIT287D/Toll-7GAL4; kek634Df(3L)6092/ Df(3R)6361 DNT237.
