Analysis of temperature-sensitive mutants reveals new genes involved in the courtship song of Drosophila.

Genetics - 1 Feb 1998

Peixoto A A, Hall J C

Abstract excerpt

cacophony (cac), a mutation affecting the courtship song in Drosophila melanogaster, is revealed to cause temperature-sensitive (TS) abnormalities. When exposed to high temperatures (37 degrees), cac flies show frequent convulsions and pronounced locomotor defects. This TS phenotype seems consistent with the idea that cac is a mutation in a calcium-channel gene; it maps to the same X-chromosomal locus that...
