Subject: ADRC: 815A
Dear Sang-Min and Naoto,
I am writing in connection with your abstract for the upcoming Washington
DC ADRC:
'Drosophila melanogaster DQ1 is homologous to recQ gene family.'
(Naoto - You were the only author for whom I could find an email address.
Feel free to pass this query on to the most appropriate author, if it is
not best for you to answer it.)
FlyBase already knows of one RecQ, for which the gene is called gesta1.
Here is the gene record for gesta1:
\*a gesta1
\*z FBgn0015800
\*x FBrf0085400 == Kusano et al., 1996, A. Conf. Dros. Res. 37: 152
\*x FBrf0091897 == Kusano et al., 1997, A. Conf. Dros. Res. 38: 106C
\*e genome stabilizer 1
\*i RecQ: RecQ-like
\*F helicase
\*j species == Escherichia coli; gene == recQ;  CGSC:17959 ; ECOGENE:EG10833
\*j species == Homo sapiens; gene == BLM;  GDB:135698 ;  OMIM:210900 
\*j species == Saccharomyces cerevisiae; gene == SGS1;  SGDID:L0001877 
\*i RecQ: RecQ-like
Does this correspond to your Q1?
If not, do you have a cytological location for Q1? It is nice if we can
keep as many gene records anchored to the map as possible.
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.
Subject: reply for question of ADRC-815A
Dear Dr. Rachel Drysdale,
I have received the e-mail from Naoto Juni.
DQ1 gene was located on chromosome 3L-70DE.
We have examined Dq1 protein in vivo by immunofluoresence-modified anti-Dq1
antibody.
We could not get the best result. Now we are planning the more detail
experiment.
It was estimated that Dq1 protein localize into the nucleus.
(Dq1 has the putative NLS in amino terminal.)
Thank you for your request,
with best wishes,
Jeong.
