Isolation and Characterization of a Photorepair-Deficient Mutant in Drosophila melanogaster

RESUMO
A mutation abolishing photorepair has been localized to map position 56.8 centimorgans on the second chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster . Strains homozygous for the phr allele are totally devoid of photorepair and partially deficient in excision repair. Both defects map to the chromosomal region between pr and c. Since a homozygous phr stock exhibits reduced photoreactivation, the corresponding wild-type allele plays a significant role in UV resistance.
