Abstract excerpt
This paper presents the characterization of nine alleles of myospheroid, which encodes the beta PS subunit of the Drosophila PS integrins. On Southern blots, the mysXB87, mysXN101 and mysXR04 genes yield restriction digest patterns similar to that seen for wild-type chromosomes, however the mys1 and mysXG43 genes contain detectable deletions. mys1, mysXB87 and mysXG43 make little or no stable protein product, and...
