In L4 mutants, incomplete elimination of ventral rab-3-positive synaptic vesicles associated with a delay in the formation of dorsal rab-3-positive synaptic vesicles in DD motor neurons. Normal formation of ventral synapses in DD motor neurons at the L1 stage (PubMed:21609829). In addition, mutants have an increase in anterograde dense-core vesicle trafficking and in the number of plus-end-out microtubules in DB motor neuron dendrites (PubMed:22699897). Reduced sensitivity to the acetylcholine esterase inhibitor aldicarb (PubMed:22699897). RNAi-mediated knockdown results in an abnormal distribution of GABAergic synaptic vesicles at synaptic termini of the ventral nerve cord (PubMed:16996038). RNAi-mediated knockdown in combination with exposure to pentylenetetrazole, a GABA antagonist that induces seizures, results in an increased convulsion incidence as compared to wild-type animals (PubMed:16996038). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16996038, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17671168, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21609829, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22699897}. |
