Abstract excerpt
Disruption of phospholipase C-beta (PLC) by the norpA mutations of Drosophila renders flies blind by affecting the light-evoked photoreceptor potential. We report here that the norpA-coded PLC modulates the 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP)-sensitive Ca2+ channels in larval muscles. The DHP-sensitive current was reduced in the norpA mutants. Application of 1 microM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA) and 1 microM...
