Effects of gap junction misexpression on synapses between auditory sensory neurons and the giant fiber of Drosophila melanogaster.
Sami H. Jezzini, Amelia Merced, Jonathan M. Blagburn
This study shows that misexpression of ShakB isoforms in Drosophila JONs alters gap junction formation with the GF but not chemical synapses, with ShakB(N+16) increasing gap junctions and ShakB(N) abolishing dye coupling.
