Pteridines and Gene Homologies in the Eye Color Mutants of DROSOPHILA HYDEI and DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER.
LUORESCENT pteridine compounds have been identified in Drosophila by HADORN and MITCHELL ( 195 1 ) , and FORREST and MITCHELL (1 954a,b, 1955). Variation in the accumulation of the various pteridines from species to species in the genus Drosophila has been discussed by RASMUSSEN and SCOSSIROLLI (1954), RASMUSSEN (1954, 1955), HUBBY and THROCKMORTON ( 1960), and THROCKMORTON ( 1962). HUBBY and T...
متن کاملA genetic screen for modifiers of E2F in Drosophila melanogaster.
The activity of the E2F transcription factor is regulated in part by pRB, the protein product of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene. Studies of tumor cells show that the p16(ink4a)/cdk4/cyclin D/pRB pathway is mutated in most forms of cancer, suggesting that the deregulation of E2F, and hence the cell cycle, is a common event in tumorigenesis. Extragenic mutations that enhance or suppress...
متن کاملDosage-Dependent Modifiers of Homoeotic Mutations in Drosophila melanogaster.
The determination of segment identity in Drosophila melanogaster appears to be controlled by a small number of genes. In order to identity new components in the process, we have systematically screened the autosomal complement for loci that show a dosage-dependent interaction with mutations in previously characterized genes thought to be important in the determination of segment identity. The d...
متن کاملIdentification of chromosome inheritance modifiers in Drosophila melanogaster.
Faithful chromosome inheritance is a fundamental biological activity and errors contribute to birth defects and cancer progression. We have performed a P-element screen in Drosophila melanogaster with the aim of identifying novel candidate genes involved in inheritance. We used a "sensitized" minichromosome substrate (J21A) to screen approximately 3,000 new P-element lines for dominant effects ...
متن کاملPersistence time of loss-of-function mutations at nonessential loci affecting eye color in Drosophila melanogaster.
Persistence time of a mutant allele, the expected number of generations before its elimination from the population, can be estimated as the ratio of the number of segregating mutations per individual over the mutation rate per generation. We screened two natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster for mutations causing clear-cut eye phenotypes and detected 25 mutant alleles, falling into 19 ...
