Subject: Helping FlyBase: ADRC-235C
Dear Richard,
We are currently curating the abstracts for the upcoming 41st
(Pittsburgh) Annual Drosophila Research Conference, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
'dSAP18 is an E(Z) interacting protein.'
You mention a gene that is new to FlyBase, Sap18.
Do you have a map location for Sap18? This is a data class we like
to track, if possible.
I am writing to you because the first author does not have an address
in FlyBase - please feel free to pass my query on if there is someone better
placed to answer it.
Thank you for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
dSAP18, which is 58% identical to human SAP18, is located ~43 kb distal to
Sb/sbd within the 89B9-10 region. Human SAP18 was originally identified as
a component of SIN3 complexes. It was also described in an abstract from
Steve Hanes' lab at the 1999 Ann. Dros. Conf. (Zhu and Hanes, Program No.
070). However, they referred to the protein as Bin1 (Bicoid Interacting
Protein \#1).
Best regards,
Rick
