Mutations affecting beta-alanine metabolism influence inducibility of the 93D puff by heat shock in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Effect of mutations at the ebony or black locus on induction of heat shock puffs in polytene nuclei of salivary glands of Drosophila melanogaster larvae were examined by [3H]uridine autoradiography. The levels of beta-alanine in the body are known to be increased by mutation at the ebony locus but decreased by mutation at the black locus. The presence of mutant allele/s at either locus in the homo- or...
