Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila no-on-transient A (nonA) gene is involved in the visual behaviors and courtship song of the fly. The NONA polypeptide contains two copies of the RNA-recognition motif (RRM), a hallmark of proteins involved in RNA binding, and an adjacent conserved charged region. This 311-amino-aci...
