Localization of minutes to specific polytene chromosome bands by means of overlapping duplications.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Overlapping duplications recovered as suppressors of Minute loci have been used to localize M(2)z and M(3)w(124) to specific polytene bands 25A1(2) and 95A1(2). The surprising efficiency of M localization by duplication may result from the tendency of M suppressors to be at least a visible fraction of a polytene band in length.

Identical Functional Organization of Nonpolytene and Polytene Chromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster
Salivary gland polytene chromosomes demonstrate banding pattern, genetic meaning of which is an enigma for decades. Till now it is not known how to mark the band/interband borders on physical map of DNA and structures of polytene chromosomes are not characterized in molecular and genetic terms. It is not known either similar banding pattern exists in chromosomes of regular diploid mitotically d...
متن کاملGenetic Organization of Interphase Chromosome Bands and Interbands in Drosophila melanogaster
Drosophila melanogaster polytene chromosomes display specific banding pattern; the underlying genetic organization of this pattern has remained elusive for many years. In the present paper, we analyze 32 cytology-mapped polytene chromosome interbands. We estimated molecular locations of these interbands, described their molecular and genetic organization and demonstrate that polytene chromosome...

A study on the polytene chromosomes obtained from the salivary gland cells of Chironomus striatipennis Kieffer indicated that a polytene chromosome is not a typical ribbon like body formed of a number of thread like chromatin elements aligned side by side having condensed chromatin thread at locations forming bands, simple linear threads of chromatin as interbands and highly extended chromatin ...

Polytene chromosomes of Chironomus thummi were treated with antisera elicited by purified calf thymus histone fractions, and the location of each histone type was visualized by the indirect immunofluorescence technique. Each of the antisera produced specific and distinct patterns of fluorescence, suggesting that it is possible to use the indirect immunofluorescence technique to study the in sit...
متن کاملDifferential effects of K+ and Na+ on specific bands of isolated polytene chromosomes of Chironomus tentans.
Previous investigations on the effects of monovalent cations on the gene activities (formation of puffs) of polytene chromosomes utilized whole salivary glands or nuclei and suggested that the K/Na ratio in the nuclear sap was of primary importance in influencing gene activities. To determine whether these effects of ions were direct or indirect, we have employed isolated polytene chromosomes i...
