The black-pearl gene of Drosophila defines a novel conserved protein family and is required for larval growth and survival.

Gene - 10 Jan 2001

Becker S, Gehrsitz A, Bork P, Buchner S, Buchner E

Abstract excerpt

Using a transposon insertion line of the Drosophila Genome Project we have cloned the black-pearl gene (blp), analyzed cDNA clones, generated various mutants, and characterized their phenotypes. The blp gene codes for a protein of 15.7 kDa calculated molecular weight that has been conserved from yeast to plants and mammals with high homology. A domain of these new proteins shows distant similarity to DnaJ domains...
