Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila melanogaster the beta2 proteasome subunit gene, Prosbeta2, was first identified as a dominant temperature sensitive mutant, DTS-7, that causes pupal lethality at 29 degrees C but allows survival to adulthood at 25 degrees C. To explore the use of proteasome mutations for a conditional lethal system in insect pests, we identified and isolated the beta2 subunit gene of the 20S proteasome from the...
