Abstract
The present invention provides for the isolation of genomic DNA fragments from Drosophila melanogaster encoding conserved amino acid sequence elements unique to the ligand-gated chloride channel gene family. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based homology probing strategy was utilized to isolate the genomic DNA fragments. Using the PCR strategy, three discrete amplified sequence elements designated LCCH1, LCCH2 and LCCH3, were isolated, LCCH2 and LCCH3 being novel. In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided the cloning and characterization of a cDNA encoding a novel member of the ligand-gated chloride channel gene family of insects isolated from Drosophila melanogaster. The cDNA corresponds to the LCCH3 genomic sequence of the invention.
