A new mutant affecting aldehyde oxidase in Drosophila melanogaster.
A new locus, Aldox-2, which affects the activity and heat stability of aldehyde oxidase in D. melanogaster is described. The Aldox-2 locus is localized to map position 86 on chromosome 2, between c and px. Aldehyde oxidase activity in aldox-2 homozygotes is approximately 25--30% that of the Oregon-R wild-type control strain. The enzyme from the mutant stock is much more heat labile than is the enzyme from the wild-type strain. Both the activity and heat phenotypes are completely recessive.
