Multiple proteins are produced from the dec-1 eggshell gene in Drosophila by alternative RNA splicing and proteolytic cleavage events.

Developmental biology - 1 Nov 1990

Waring G L, Hawley R J, Schoenfeld T

Abstract excerpt

The defective chorion-1 gene (dec-1) in Drosophila encodes follicle cell proteins necessary for proper eggshell assembly. A distinctive feature of the gene is the production of multiple products by both alternative RNA splicing and proteolytic processing events. DNA and protein sequencing studies have revealed several dec-1 protein products. The predominant translation product, fc106, has a vitelline...
