Abstract excerpt
The shibire(ts2) mutation of Drosophila melanogaster causes a temperature sensitive inhibition of endocytosis; this in turn leads to synaptic-vesicle depletion and consequent paralysis.

A simple screening protocol has been used to isolate several mutations that partially suppress the...
