Structure and Expression of Wild-Type and Suppressible Alleles of the Drosophila Purple Gene

Viable mutant alleles of purple (pr), such as pr(bw), exhibit mutant eye colors. This reflects low 6-pyruvoyl tetrahydropterin (PTP) synthase activity required for pigment synthesis. PTP synthase is also required for synthesis of the enzyme cofactor biopterin; presumably this is why some pr alleles...
