DPhK-gamma, a putative Drosophila kinase with homology to vertebrate phosphorylase kinase gamma subunits: molecular characterisation of the gene and phenotypic analysis of loss of function mutants.

Abstract excerpt

Partial and total loss of function mutant alleles of a putative Drosophila homologue (DPhK-gamma) of the vertebrate phosphorylase kinase gamma-subunit gene have been isolated. DPhK-gamma is required in early embryonic processes, such as gastrulation and mesoderm formation; however, defects in these processes are seen only when both the maternal and zygotic components of DPhK-gamma expression are eliminated. Loss...
