Abstract excerpt
In this study we provide a cytological and genetic characterization of the JIL-1 locus in Drosophila. JIL-1 is an essential chromosomal tandem kinase and in JIL-1 null animals chromatin structure is severely perturbed. Using a range of JIL-1 hypomorphic mutations, we show that they form an allelic series. JIL-1 has a strong maternal effect and JIL-1 activity is required at all stages of development, including...
