Abstract

The proteins Pontin and Reptin belong to the AAA+ ATPase family and their homologs have been found in all eukaryotes. They have been implicated with various complexes and play a vital role in chromatin remodeling. Despite that, other functions of these proteins are less known. In this project knock-downs of these proteins were examined with the emphasis on the effects on the neuromuscular junction of Drosophila melanogaster. The Gal4/UAS system was exploited for this purpose. Samples were stained with fluorescent dyes and imaged with a confocal microscope. Using the same crosses, third instar larvae were crossed on apple juice agar, heat-shocked and measured, for comparison on size-related phenotype. Finally, samples from Pontin-N-GFP and Rep...
