Abstract
Phosphofructokinase (PFK;EC 2.7.1.11) activity in Drosophila melanogaster is controlled by a single dosage-sensitive region of the genome between 45F and 47E of chromosome IIR. Only a single form of PFK was detected electrophoretically in both adults and larvae. Nearly 90% of the PFK activity in adults is localized to the thorax. Purification of the enzyme was hampered by the extreme lability of Drosophila PFK; however, a 36-fold partial purification was achieved.Entities:
