Subject: Curation of 36th Ann. Dros. Conf. abstract 113A
Dear Kathleen Fitzpatrick,
I am a curator of FlyBase at the Cambridge, England, site working with
Prof. M. Ashburner.
I shall be curating the abstracts from the 36th Ann. Dros. Res. Conf.
Your abstract, 113A, discusses several PTP genes. In the database we
have five protein tyrosine phosphatase genes. Could you tell me which
of these, or if you used all of the Ptp genes in your study during
oogenesis.
Ptp4E, Ptp10D, Ptp36DE, Ptp61F or Ptp99A
Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Eleanor Whitfield.

Dear Eleanor Whitfield;
The genes we have looked at during oogenesis are: DPTP61F, DPTP69D
(this is the DPTP originally picked up by Saito along with DLAR),
DPTP38A(DLAR), DPTP99A, DPTP10D, DPTP4E, DPTP36E (we have refined the
position since our last presentation), and csw. The only phosphatases
we didn't use are string and twine, whose oogenesis expression patterns
are already known.
I hope this is helpful to you in curating the abstracts.
If there are any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact
me.
Kathleen Fitzpatrick.
