The Drosophila melanogaster Seminal Fluid Protein Acp62F Is a Protease Inhibitor That Is Toxic Upon Ectopic Expression
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Drosophila melanogaster seminal fluid proteins stimulate sperm storage and egg laying in the mated female but also cause a reduction in her life span. We report here that of eight Drosophila seminal fluid proteins (Acps) and one non-Acp tested, only Acp62F is toxic when ectopically expressed. Toxicity to preadult male or female Drosophila occurs upon one exposure, whereas multiple exposures are needed for...
