Abstract excerpt
Cloning and characterization of the Drosophila syntaxin-1A gene, syx-1A, reveal that it is present in several tissues but is predominantly expressed in the nervous system, where it is localized to axons and synapses. We have generated an allelic series of loss-of-function mutations that result in embryonic lethality with associated morphological and secretory defects dependent on the severity of the mutant...
