Subject: ADRC: 736B 737C
Dear Chitra, Arlene and Dennis,
I am writing in connection with your abstracts for the upcoming Washington
DC ADRC:
'Characterization of a novel Bam interacting protein, BITP 15.'
'Studies of Bam propose a role for organelle vesicle fusion in cystoblast differentiation.'
You describe three new genes BITP-15, Tera and Plap. Do you have full
names for any of these gene symbols? Do you have a cytological location for any
of them? 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.

Dear Rachel,
dPLAP is the fly homolog of Phospholipase A2 Activator Protein. The gene is
located at 22A. We don't have any mutations as yet so we don't have a
phenotype-based name.
	Hope this helps.
Regards, Dennis

Rachel,
	If you're going to include the citations in Flybase, then you need
the following information:
dTERA = Drosophila transitional Endoplasmic Reticulum ATPase, located at 46D.
