Abstract excerpt
We have identified a Drosophila gene (arflike, arl) encoding a protein that is structurally related (approximately 55% identity) to the ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) of yeast and mammals. Biochemical analyses of purified recombinant arl-encoded protein revealed properties similar to the ARF pro...
