Abstract

Dipeptidase A (Dip-A), a new peptidase locus in Drosophila melanogaster, is located on the second chromosome at map position 55.2 and in the 41A-B; 42A2-3 interval in the salivary gland chromosomes. Three alleles are reported. In the Carpenter, North Carolina population the allele frequencies are: Dip-A 6(fastest)=0.064; Dip-A 4(intermediate)=0.920; and Dip-A 2(slowest)=0.015.
