Abstract excerpt
We describe the isolation of mutations in dynamin-associated protein 160 kDa (dap160), the Drosophila homolog of intersectin, a putative adaptor for proteins involved in endocytosis, cytoskeletal regulation, and signaling. We show that partial loss-of-function mutants display temperature-sensitive (ts) paralysis, whereas null mutants show ts defects in endocytosis. Loss-of-function mutants exhibit bouton...
