[Interaction of the ss and CG5017 genes in the regulation of morphogensis of limbs in Drosophila melanogaster].

The influence of the P-element built into the area of the CG5017 gene on the mutation of the spineless (ss) gene was studied. It was shown that the insertion of the P-element decreased the level of transcription of CG5017 approximately twofold. Modulation of the level of transcription of the CG5017 gene helped demonstrate, for the first time, its influence on the phenotypic manifestation of the mutation of the ss gene, which shows their interaction in the process of regulation of morphogenesis of limbs in Drosophila melanogaster.
