Abstract:
The genetics of Drosophila is a powerful tool in the analysis of mutants and mutant proteins. Cultures of cells derived from wild-type or mutant flies can be pulse labeled to biosynthetically label the proteins made by the cells. Immunoprecipitation (and subcellular fractionation) are used to characterize the expression of specific proteins.
