Abstract excerpt
A Drosophila visual mutant, rdgA, has photoreceptor cells whose rhabdomeres degenerate in several days after eclosion. Incorporations of 3H-amino acids, and 3H-mannose and 3H-glucosamine residues into the photoreceptive membranes were studied in newly emerged rdgA mutant flies by electron microscope autoradiography. The amount of 3H-amino acids incorporated in rdgA rhabdomeres at 3 hr after the injection was...
