Courtship and other behaviors affected by a heat-sensitive, molecularly novel mutation in the cacophony calcium-channel gene of Drosophila.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2002

Chan Betty, Villella Adriana, Funes Pablo, Hall Jeffrey C

Abstract excerpt

The cacophony (cac) locus of Drosophila melanogaster, which encodes a calcium-channel subunit, has been mutated to cause courtship-song defects or abnormal responses to visual stimuli. However, the most recently isolated cac mutant was identified as an enhancer of a comatose mutation's effects on general locomotion. We analyzed the cac(TS2) mutation in terms of its intragenic molecular change and its effects on...
