Mutations affecting phenol oxidase activity in Drosophila: quicksilver and tyrosinase-1.

Biochemical genetics - 1 Apr 1990

Pentz E S, Black B C, Wright T R

Abstract excerpt

The complex enzyme phenol oxidase plays a major role in sclerotization and melanization of cuticle in insects. Production of active enzyme from the inactive proenzyme involves at least six protein components in Drosophila. We examine here the biochemical phenotype of two loci that affect phenol oxidase activity--quicksilver (qs; 1-39.5) and tyrosinase-1 (tyr-1; 2-54.5). Three mutations isolated by different...
