Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila tumor suppressor gene lethal (1) discs large (dlg) encodes a protein necessary for normal cell growth in epithelial and brain tissue. It shares high sequence identity to the mammalian synaptic proteins PSD-95 and SAP-70, whose functions are unknown. To determine the localization and role of dlg at synapses, we investigated its distribution and the effects of dlg mutations on Drosophila...
