It is shown that the Notch 8 deficiency in Drosophila melanogaster affects a number of enzyme activities localized in the mitochondria, such as NADH oxidase (activity of the complete respiratory chain), NADH dehydrogenase (the first step in the respiratory chain before transfer to ubiquinone), Succi

β¦ Synopsis
The recombinational analysis of heterozygotes for a point-mutant N and a deficiency N suggests that the map region approximated by the interval fa to nd 2 is at the right edge of salivary band 3C7 or in the interband to the right. The map region N ssell to fa can be anywhere between the left interband and the right edge of 3C7. We discovered that small inversions also can be used in the recombinational analysis, and the inversion data support the conclusions already described.
The reactivation of latent mutability in a Notch inversion resulted in reinversion of the original aberration, followed by reversion ofNto N +. From the same Notch inversion, we isolated a spontaneous deficiency superimposed upon the original aberration, which supported our hypothesis that two of our w to N deficiencies probably originated as deficiencies superimposed upon inversions.

A fine-structure analysis of the white locus in Drosophila hydei was carried out by means of allele recombination. Four mutants, derived from wild type, mapped at three subloci. These are possibly homologous to the main subloci 2, 3, and 4 of D. melanogaster. Three secondary mutants, derived from th
The effects of six recessive visible Notch mutations on the activities of four enzymes of the mitochondrial respiratory chain are described. Their effects in hemizygous condition in males are similar to those of the recessive lethal Notch mutations in heterozygous condition. This explains their viab
## Abstract We have recently described a new locus, __Hyalβ1__, which determines hyaluronidase variants in mouse serum. On the basis of segregation in recombinant inbred and congeric strains, __Hyalβ1__ was tentatively assigned to chromosome 9 (FiszerβSzafarz and De Maeyer, '89). In the present stu
We have determined the in vivo effects of cis-platinum@)diamminodichloride (cis-PDD) treatment on the induction of chromosome aberrations in Drosophila melanogaster germ cells. cis-PDD treatment induces significant increases in clue mosome breakage in all stages of spermatogenesis in a battery of te
