Abstract

The invention provides Drosophila melanogaster p70S6K, as well as nucleic acids encoding this kinase. The sequence of Drosophila p70S6K and the gene encoding it are represented in SEQ ID No. 2 and 1 respectively. The invention moreover provides mutated forms of Drosophila p70S6K, including constitutively active and dominant negative forms thereof, which are useful in the study of p70S6K activity. Furthermore, the invention provides expression systems which produce Drosophila p70S6K in Drosophila and other organisms, and in particular systems in which expression of Drosophila p70S6K has been modulated so as to facilitate the study of its activity.
