Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila gene elav encodes a 483-amino-acid-long nuclear RNA binding protein required for normal neuronal differentiation and maintenance. We molecularly analyzed the three known viable alleles of the gene, namely elavts1, elavFliJ1, and elavFliJ2, which manifest temperature-sensitive phenotypes. The modification of the elavFliJ1 allele corresponds to the change of glycine426 (GGA) into a glutamic acid...
