“…All neurons were imaged during the 3 rd instar larva stage, when the da neurons acquire their mature shapes. Cytoskeletal organization in control or mutant genetic backgrounds was assessed by using Class I-or Class IV-specific GAL4 to label respectively stable microtubules via the mCherry-tagged microtubule associated protein Jupiter (Cabernard and Doe, 2009;Das et al, 2017a;Weiner et al, 2016) (Figure 1 A, E, I, Figure S1 A, E, I, Figure S2) and F-actin by a GFPtagged Moesin actin binding domain (Figure 1 C, G, K, Figure S1 C, G, K) which has been previously validated and extensively utilized as a marker of F-actin (Anderson et al, 2005;Das et al, 2017a;Dutta et al, 2002;Jinushi-Nakao et al, 2007;Lee et al, 2011;Nagel et al, 2012;Nithianandam and Chien, 2018). Basic morphological reconstructions of these images consisted of vectorized tree structures composed of numerous, uniformly sampled, connected compartments.…”
