Drosophila melanogaster misexpressing the gene tan in the pattern of the gene apterous and pannier
Issue Image

Drosophila melanogaster misexpressing the gene tan in the pattern of the gene apterous (top) and pannier (bottom), causing ectopic melanin to form in a dorsal stripe, and ebony (center two flies), causing melanization in a W pattern on the thorax. In the background, the Tan protein sequences from three different insects are aligned with a related protein from fungi that functions in penicillin biosynthesis. Characterization of tan clarifies several long-standing mysteries in the biology of melanin pigmentation and vision in insects (see True et al.).
