Slo4 genetic background, or TEA application, abolish the effects of Slob on EJC amplitude and on the frequency and amplitude of the mEJC. As indicated by the asterisks, the mutIP1 group is significantly different from the WTP41 group, with respect to all parameters measured. The inhibition of dSlo either genetically (Slo4 flies) or pharmacologically (1 mM TEA) eliminates the differences and makes Slob knockout and WT flies statistically indistinguishable. Mean ± SEM is shown for each group. Cell numbers are in parentheses. For averaged EJC traces and sample mEJC traces, see Fig. 8.
