Summary of synaptic defects in myd3PM71 mutants.
(A) In WT flies, Myd is required for proper retrograde trafficking of Gbb. Successful trafficking of Gbb to presynaptic motor neurons and subsequent BMP signaling promotes synaptic maintenance. (B) In myd3PM71 flies, defects in Gbb trafficking result in decreased BMP signaling in motor neurons along with accumulated Gbb in muscles, leading to cell death in motor neurons and muscles, respectively.
