We have found a null mutant of an odorant-binding protein, Obp57e, in Drosophila melanogaster. This frameshift mutation, which is a 10-bp deletion in the coding region, is at a high frequency in the Kyoto population and is also present in Taiwan and Africa. We have sequenced a 1.5-kb region including the tandemly duplicated gene, Obp57d, from 16 inbred lines sampled in Kyoto, Japan. The analyses showed a peak of nucleotide diversity and strong linkage disequilibrium around this mutation. This pa ...[more]
