Abstract
The aim of the project is to undertake a functional genomic study of the role of noradrenaline in the insect nervous system. Information from Drosophila sequencing programmes will be used to clone specific beta- adrenergic-like receptor subtypes from Drosophila. The receptors will be characterized by expression either transiently in Xenopus oocytes or permanently in clonal cell lines. The cellular expression patterns of these receptors and of noradrenaline in the nervous system of Drosophila will be determined using immunocytochemistry.
