Structure and expression of wild-type and suppressible alleles of the Drosophila purple gene.

Genetics - 1 Apr 1996

Kim N, Kim J, Park D, Rosen C, Dorsett D, Yim J

Abstract excerpt

Viable mutant alleles of purple (pr), such as prbw, exhibit mutant eye colors. This reflects low 6-pyruvoyl tetrahydropterin (PTP) synthase activity required for pigment synthesis. PTP synthase is also required for synthesis of the enzyme cofactor biopterin; presumably this is why some pr alleles are lethal. The prbw eye color phenotype is suppressed by suppressor of sable [su(s)] mutations. The pr gene was...
