ABSTRACT Genes of the dilute-short ear (d-se) region of mouse chromosome 9 comprise an array of loci important to the normal development of the animal. Over 200 spontaneous, chemically induced and radiation-induced mutations at these loci have been identified, making it one of the most genetically well-characterized regions of the mouse. Molecular analysis of this region has recently become feasible by the identification of a dilute mutation that was induced by integration of an ecotropic murine leukemia virus genome. Several unique sequence cellular DNA probes flanking this provirus have now been identified and used to investigate the organization of wild-type chromosomes and chromosomes with radiation-induced d-se region mutations. As expected, several of these mutations are associated with deletions, and, in general, the molecular and genetic complementation maps of these mutants are concordant. Furthermore, a deletion break-point fusion fragment has been identified and has been used to orient the physical map of the d-se region with respect to the genetic complementation map. These experiments provide important initial steps for analyzing this developmentally important region at the molecular level, as well as for studying in detail how a diverse group of mutagens acts on the mammalian germline.

By selecting for mutations which could rescue the meiotic lethality of a rad52 spo13 strain, we isolated several new Rec genes required relatively early in the meiotic recombination process. This paper presents data to confirm that two of them, REC102 and REC107, are general, meiosis-specific recombination genes that have no detectable role during mitosis. Sequence analysis and genetic complementation indicate that REC107 is identical to the MER2 gene. No sequences related to REC102 have been found in the GenBank or EMBL collections. REC102 is expressed only in meiosis, prior to the reductional division, at about the time that genetic recombination occurs. Examination of the REC102 sequence indicates the presence of several sequences which may play a role in the regulation of its expression; however, the URS1 sequence commonly found in genes expressed early in meiosis is not present.

In 1931, Theodore Quelprud characterized a novel spontaneous mutation in Drosophila melanogaster, which was named aeroplane (ae) based on its abnormal wing posture. Although the characterization of the original ae locus was minimal, it is very likely that another allele of this extinct mutation has now been identified. aeroplane-like (ae-l) was isolated as a by-product of a transformation experiment. The apparent wing paralysis is not caused by any obvious abnormalities in the thorax, wing, indirect flight muscles or direct flight muscles. Classical genetic complementation analyses of ae-l with other genes in the region suggest that it represents an allele of a novel locus. Unexpectedly, a molecular examination revealed that the physical lesion identified in the ae-l mutant is exceptionally close to the homeotic gene teashirt (tsh) and, indeed, may represent an unusual allele of teashirt.Key words: aeroplane, teashirt, wing posture, Drosophila, flight.
