Subject: Helping FlyBase: CSH-222
Dear Ute,
We are currently curating the abstracts for the 2001 CSH Neurobiology
of Drosophila Conference, for FlyBase.
I am writing in connection with your abstract:
'Fly homologues of PROSAP and MAGI are putative scaffolding molecules
at larval neuromuscular junctions.'
You mention two genes that are new to FlyBase, Prosap and Magi. Do you
know which of the Genome Project CG annotations your genes correspond
to? All the CGs have corresponding gene records in FlyBase already and
we don't like to make duplicate records for what is actually the same
gene unless we can't avoid it. If either of the genes do not
correspond to a CG then perhaps you could tell me its map location, as
this is valuable information for the genome annotation project.
Thank you very much for your help,
with best wishes,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
the Drosophila homolog of the synaptic scaffolding protein ProSAP/Shank
corresponds to CG13354 and CG8122. The (putative) Drosophila homolog of
MAGI also covers two neighbouring CGs, i.e. CG15656 and CG4117.
We hope this will be helpful for you,
Many thanks for all your work \!
