Abstract

We have taken a reverse genetics approach to study the molecular basis of phototransduction in Drosophila melanogaster. We have identified genes which are preferentially expressed in the compound eye of the fruitfly by subtractive hybridization. Among those eye-specific sequences we have characterized the ninaA gene, a gene encoding for a photoreceptor cell-specific protein kinase C (PKC), and two arrestin genes.
