A mutant dec-1 transgene induces dominant female sterility in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Nov 2007

Spangenberg Daniel K, Waring Gail L

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila dec-1 gene produces three proproteins required for female fertility and eggshell assembly. The three proproteins are distinguished by their C termini. Fc106, the most abundant proprotein, is cleaved within the vitelline membrane to three mature derivatives in a developmentally regulated manner. To define sequences within fc106 that are critical for its function, we created wild-type and mutant...
