Drosophila melanogaster encodes a dynein microtubule motor
A clone encoding a portion of the highly conserved ATP-binding domain of a dynein heavy-chain polypeptide was mapped to a region of the Drosophila melanogaster Y chromosome. Dyneins are large multisubunit enzymes that utilize the hydrolysis ofATP to move along microtubules. They were first identified as the motors that provide the force for tlageilar and ciliary bending. Seven different dynein ...
متن کاملMolecular characterization and rescue of acatalasemic mutants of Drosophila melanogaster.
The enzyme catalase protects aerobic organisms from oxygen-free radical damage by converting hydrogen peroxide to molecular oxygen and water before it can decompose to form the highly reactive hydroxyl radical. Hydroxyl radicals are the most deleterious of the activated oxygen intermediates found in aerobic organisms. If formed, they can react with biological molecules in their proximity; the e...
متن کاملThe developmental genetics of apterous mutants of Drosophila melanogaster.
HE apterous (ap) mutant of Drosophila melanogaster was first found by MISS EDITH M. WALLACE in 1913 while working in the laboratory of DR. T. H. MORGAN. This mutant,'which occurred spontaneously, was shown by C. W. METZ (1914) to be recessive and located on the second chromosome near the black ( 6 ) locus. Subsequently, other apterous mutants were found, such as up4, which was localized at 2-55...
متن کاملParameters of mitotic recombination in minute mutants of Drosophila melanogaster.
A sample of 16 Minutes, representing 12 loci distributed over all the chromosome arms and including 3 pairs of alleles and 4 deficiencies, has been studied with respect to several developmental and recombinational parameters. Cell marker mutants located in most of the chromosome arms were used to assess (1) spontaneous and X-ray-induced mitotic recombination frequencies of each Minute, and (2) ...
متن کاملMating success of photoreceptor mutants of Drosophila melanogaster.
The compound eye of Drosophila contains 700-800 individual ommatidia, each made up of six outer retinula cells (R1_6) , and two central retinula cells (R7 and Rs). Each retinula cell contains a rhabdomere which is the location of the visual pigment. Mutants have been recovered which specifically eliminate function in R1-6 or in RT. Other mutants, such as norp Ae24, result in a loss of the recep...
