Proliferation of both somatic and germ cells is affected in the Drosophila mutants of raf proto-oncogene - PubMed

The genomic and cDNA fragments of Drosophila melanogaster, homologous to human c-raf-1, were cloned. The nucleotide sequence predicted the primary structure of a polypeptide of 666 amino acid residues with a highly conserved Ser-Thr kinase domain on its carboxy terminal half. Draf-1 was mapped to th…
