Abstract excerpt
We used the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to amplify choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) mRNA fragments from two temperature-sensitive alleles of Drosophila melanogaster, Cha(ts1) and Cha(ts2). Single base substitutions in the mutants (T1614A in Cha(ts1) and G1596A in Cha(ts2)) would result in amino acid changes for ChAT protein (Met403Lys in Ch(ts1) and Arg397His in Cha(ts2)). These base...
