The Response of Dopa Decarboxylase Activity to Variations in Gene Dosage in Drosophila: A Possible Location of the Structural Gene

PMCID: PMC1213257  PMID: 1126620

Abstract

A location of the structural gene(s) for dopa decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.26) is proposed on the basis of enzyme determinations in a set of duplication-bearing aneuploids, which revealed only one dosage-sensitive region in the Drosophila genome. This region lies between 36EF and 37D on the left arm of chromosome 2.
