The shaking B gene in Drosophila regulates the number of gap junctions between photoreceptor terminals in the lamina.

Journal of neurobiology - 1 Apr 1998

Shimohigashi M, Meinertzhagen I A

Abstract excerpt

The molecular structure of insect gap junctions differs from that in vertebrates, and in Drosophila is possibly encoded by the shaking B (= Passover) locus. shaking B2 is a null allele that acts in the nervous system. In the shakB2 mutant, one site of action are gap junctions between photoreceptor terminals in the cartridges of the lamina, beneath the compound eye, which we assayed from the number of...
