Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila ninaG mutant is characterized by low levels of Rh1 rhodopsin, because of the inability to transport this rhodopsin from the endoplasmic reticulum to the rhabdomere. ninaG mutants do not affect the biogenesis of the minor opsins Rh4 and Rh6. A genetic analysis placed the ninaG gene within the 86E4-86E6 chromosomal region. A sequence analysis of the 15 open reading frames within this region from the...
