muscle
• nuclei are disorganized in muscle fibers of mutants; nuclei cluster abnormally, with >99% of muscle fibers have nuclear clusters
• numbers of synaptic nuclei is reduced, but numbers of nuclei peripheral to synapse are increased compared to controls
|
nervous system
• no nuclei are observed under the neuromuscular junctions (NMJ) in mutants, compared to 4-5 seen in controls; synapse-associated nuclei are dramatically reduced in number compared to controls
