Abstract excerpt
The bendless (ben) mutation of Drosophila alters synaptic connectivity between a subset of CNS neurons. Here, we show that ben also causes morphological abnormalities within the visual system, suggesting that ben functions in a number of different developmental processes. We show that the ben gene encodes a protein which is closely related to ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes and that a missense mutation in the...
