Abstract excerpt
The mas-1 gene of Drosophila melanogaster encodes Golgi mannosidase I (MAS-1), and flies homozygous for small deletions of the gene are viable. They show but few abnormalities and those have a low penetrance [Kerscher, S., Albert, S., Wucherpfennig, D., Heisenberg, M. & Schneuwly, S. (1995) Dev. Biol. 168, 613-626]. Here we sequence the N-linked oligosaccharides associated with a reporter protein, and with...
