Abstract
An EMS mutagenesis screen was conducted in
Drosophila melanogaster
to identify growth control mutants. The multi-institution Fly-CURE consortium phenotypically characterized the
O.2.2
mutant using the
FLP/FRT
system which displayed a mutant lethal phenotype with reduced head development, and darkened ocular tissue. Complementation mapping was conducted to identify the affected gene. A failure to complement was identified in
Uba3
, resulting in the identification of the novel allele,
Uba3
O.2.2
.
Uba3
is a known disruptor of the cell cycle and our data are consistent with early larval/embryonic lethality displayed in numerous species.
