Abstract

Drosophila type 2 Btk29A reveals the highest homology to Btk among mammalian Tec kinases. In Btk29A^ficP mutant males, the apodeme holding the penis split into two pieces. Human Btk rescued this phenotype in 39% of Btk29A^ficP males, while the Drosophila transgenes did so in 90-100% of mutants. The Btk29A^ficP mutation reduced adult longevity to 11% that of wild-type. This effect was counteracted by Drosophila type 2, yielding 76% of the wild-type lifespan. Human Btk extended the lifespan of Btk29A^ficP mutants only to 20% that of wild-type. Thus human Btk can partially replace Drosophila Btk29A⁺ in male genital development and survival.
