The gene mod(mdg4) affects synapse specificity and structure in Drosophila.

Journal of neurobiology - 5 Jun 1999

Gorczyca M, Popova E, Jia X X, Budnik V

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms by which synapse assembly and maturation are orchestrated during development are largely unknown. We used P-element mutagenesis and a larval anatomical screen to isolate mutants in which synapse structure was altered. Here, we describe a mutation isolated with this screen, branch point disrupted (bpd), in which both synapse specificity and synapse morphology were altered. Synaptic terminals in bpd...
