In this review we explore the ways in which the classical and molecular genetics of Drosophila melanogaster can be used to study the structure and function of ion channels. Two different approaches can be used to isolate the genes for ion channels in Drosophila. In one approach, classical genetic techniques are used to generate mutant flies that may have defective channels. Often, these mutants are initially identified as interesting because they behave abnormally. Sub sequently, they are studied electrophysiologically to see whether synaptic transmission or ionic currents have been affected by the mutation. Once a physiologically interesting gene has been identified and its chromosomal location has been determined, the gene can be cloned. This approach can lead to molecular analysis of channel genes and the proteins they encode, even if the channel has not previously been purified. In the second approach, channel genes that have been cloned in other organisms are used to isolate homologous genes from Drosophila. After mapping these genes to chromo somal locations, classical genetic techniques can be used to obtain deletions and mutations. The phenotype of these mutations can reveal the function of the wild-type gene product in vivo. This second approach is sometimes referred to as "reverse genetics. " Once a channel gene has been cloned and mutants have been isolated, the molecular genetic techniques of Drosophila can be applied. For example, P element-mediated transformation (61, 75) of the wild-type gene into mutant flies should restore normal function. Furthermore, mutant alleles, generated in vitro by site-specific mutagenesis of either coding sequences or potential
