| PubMed Abstract |
A newly characterized Drosophila melanogaster gene, logjam (loj), functions in female reproduction by modulating oviposition
behavior. The locus encodes at least six overlapping transcripts with unique 5' ends. P-element mutants that express very
low levels of loj transcripts are unable to oviposit mature eggs. This phenotype can be rescued by the introduction of a transgene
expressing the most abundant loj transcript. As for many genes that specify behavioral outputs, loj is present in the adult
central nervous system (CNS). Interestingly, it is also observed in vitellogenic egg chambers, suggesting that there may be
multiple functions for this gene in egg-laying behavior. loj encodes a predicted protein with homology to the EMP24/GP25 transmembrane
components of cytoplasmic vesicles and likely functions in intracellular trafficking.
