Analysis of Drosophila yellow-B cDNA reveals a new family of proteins related to the royal jelly proteins in the honeybee and to an orphan protein in an unusual bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans.

abstract：:A new point mutation was found in the coding sequence of the secretor FUT2 gene. This missense mutation with an A-->T substitution at nucleotide 385 resulted in an amino acid change of Ile129 to Phe129. This mutation showed a clear genetic trait in an Indonesian pedigree and, when appearing in a homozygous form, it wa...
