Subject: ADRC: 404B
Dear Kerrie-Ann and John,
I am writing in connection with your abstract for the upcoming Washington
DC ADRC:
'Positional cloning of DTS7, encoding a proteasome beta-type subunit.'
You describe 'Su(DTS)-1', a gene that is new to FlyBase. Do you have a
symbol or a cytological location for Su(DTS)-1? It is nice if we can keep
as many gene records as possible anchored to the map.
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
Su(DTS)-1: this is a dominant suppressor of the dominant
temperature-sensitive lethal mutants, DTS5 (also known as Pros26 or
l(3)73Ai1) and DTS7. These DTS mutants both encode altered proteasome
subunits. We are currently trying to characterize this gene more
thoroughly, and we don't have a good cytological position of it yet, but by
recombination mapping it maps at 3-48.5, just to the right of pink.
I hope this info suffices.
John
