Abstract excerpt
Mutations at the scabrous locus (sca) affect cell-cell signaling during neural development. Twenty-one mutant alleles of scabrous have been analyzed. Many synthesize no sca protein. In others, a defective protein is arrested intracellularly. Two mutants in which protein is not arrested must affect sca protein function outside the cell. Both affect the fibrinogen related domain (FReD), a 200-amino acid segment...
