Abstract excerpt
We describe a developmental analysis of Drosophila Cullin-5 (Cul-5) identified from the genome sequence on the basis of its high degree of homology to vertebrate and worm sequences. The gene is expressed in a restricted manner in ectodermal cells throughout development suggesting pleiotropic functions. We decided to examine the phenotypes of Cul-5 aberrations in two well-studied developmental systems: the...
