High impact information on didum

  • Drosophila myosin V is required for larval development and spermatid individualization [1].
  • Recent studies have revealed unconventional myosin V to be an important actin-based molecular motor involved in vesicular movement [2].
  • We have also mapped the Drosophila myosin V locus to chromosome 2 at the position 43C-D, and we are currently searching for known mutations in this region [2].
  • In this paper we report the molecular characterization of the Drosophila myosin V, identified by reverse genetics [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of didum

  • Based on Southern blot analyses and chromosomal localization, evidence is presented for a single Drosophila myosin V gene [2].
