Abstract excerpt
A mutant beta-actin with an amino acid substitution from Gly-245 to Asp has been shown to be related to tumorigenic transformation of a human fibroblast cell line (Leavitt, J. et al. (1987) Mol. Cell. Biol. 7, 2467-2476). To examine the effects of this mutation, we artificially introduced the same amino acid change into the Act88F actin gene of Drosophila melanogaster. The gene (Act88FGD245) was inserted in the...
