Abstract :
The ard gene encodes a neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) protein from Drosophila (ARD protein). Cytogenetically this gene maps at position 64B/C on the left arm of the 3rd chromosome. Five introns interrupt the protein coding region of the gene, and one is found upstream of the translation start site. The ard gene thus contains less introns than vertebrate muscle AChR genes, but, with one exception, the positions of the resident introns are precisely conserved. Implications for the evolution of AChR genes are discussed. |
