Abstract excerpt
Molecular nature of lethal and semilethal mutations in the Pgd locus of D. melanogaster coding for 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6tpgd) was studied. All these mutations affect the structural gene of the Pgd locus: 3 semilethal mutations resulted in altered 6PGD molecules with the decreased catalytic activity; the remaining 8 lethals were "zero" alleles possessing mutant polypeptides inactive but capable to...
