Abstract excerpt
We have isolated the Drosophila disc proliferation abnormal (dpa) gene, a member of the MCM family of DNA replication factors. Members of this family of proteins are required for DNA replication in yeast. A dpa null mutant dies during pupal stages because imaginal tissues necessary for the formation of the adult fly fail to proliferate normally. Beginning in late embryogenesis BrdU labeling reveals DNA...
