The Regulation of Aldehyde Oxidase in Imaginal Wing Discs of Drosophila Hybrids: Evidence for cis- and trans-Acting Control Elements.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aldehyde oxidase (Aldox) distribution pattern was determined for wing discs of partial hybrids between D. melanogaster and D. simulans. In these animals the regulation of Aldox activity is not uniform over the disc epithelium as both cis-dominant and trans -acting control were evident in different regions of the disc. The Aldox expression was shown to be regulated by loci on the X chromosome, 2L and 3R of D. melanogaster and 2R and 3R of D. simulans.

Regulation of Nadp-Malic Enzyme in the Eye-Antennal Disc of D. melanogaster/D. simulans Hybrids: Evidence for cis- and trans-Regulation.
Pattern regulation of malic enzyme (ME) distribution in D. melanogaster/D. simulans (mel/sim) hybrid eye-antennal discs was investigated. Both cis- and trans-regulation of the spatial distribution pattern was observed within the eye portion of the disc complex. D. simulans possesses gene(s) that operate in trans in the hybrids to suppress ME staining along the morphogenetic furrow, a region tha...
متن کاملCis-regulatory elements of the mitotic regulator, string/Cdc25.
Mitosis in most Drosophila cells is triggered by brief bursts of transcription of string (stg), a Cdc25-type phosphatase that activates the mitotic kinase, Cdk1 (Cdc2). To understand how string transcription is regulated, we analyzed the expression of string-lacZ reporter genes covering approximately 40 kb of the string locus. We also tested protein coding fragments of the string locus of 6 kb ...
متن کاملCis regulatory effects on A-to-I RNA editing in related Drosophila species.
Adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing modifies maturing mRNAs through the binding of adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (Adar) proteins to double-stranded RNA structures in a process critical for neuronal function. Editing levels at individual editing sites span a broad range and are mediated by both cis-acting elements (surrounding RNA sequence and secondary structure) and trans-acting factors. Here...
متن کاملEssential Roles of the Tap42-Regulated Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A) Family in Wing Imaginal Disc Development of Drosophila melanogaster
Protein ser/thr phosphatase 2A family members (PP2A, PP4, and PP6) are implicated in the control of numerous biological processes, but our understanding of the in vivo function and regulation of these enzymes is limited. In this study, we investigated the role of Tap42, a common regulatory subunit for all three PP2A family members, in the development of Drosophila melanogaster wing imaginal dis...
متن کاملCubitus interruptus is necessary but not sufficient for direct activation of a wing-specific decapentaplegic enhancer.
In Drosophila, the imaginal discs are the primordia for adult appendages. Their proper formation is dependent upon the activation of the decapentaplegic (dpp) gene in a stripe of cells just anterior to the compartment boundary. In imaginal discs, the dpp gene has been shown to be activated by Hedgehog signal transduction. However, an initial analysis of its enhancer region suggests that its reg...
